Reva Mann, born 1957 in London to a rabbinical family, moved to Israel in 1979 and read literature and archeology at Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Later she attended an ultra-orthodox seminary, where she immersed herself in esoteric study. Much of her devout experience in the yeshiva world (and her wild London youth) is described in her memoir The Rabbi's Daughter - a true story of sex, drugs and orthodoxy (Hodder and Stoughton U.K. Dial Press USA. Published in 2008 and translated in to 4 languages.) She now lives between Zichron Yaakov in the north of Israel and the Cycladic Island of Paros and is writing a second memoir on her many escapes from war to the tranquility of Paros - and the subsequent returns to her beloved, chaotic homeland.
