Unlike most of the other reviews, I know the orthodox Jewish community, its practices, language, and the evils hidden within very well. This made me very impatient with the book's organization, its language and its pace. The story is told from Gittel'...more |

Others have commented on the great writing, but I couldn't find it in this slow moving plot. It is the story of a sweet girl bristling with feelings and perceptions who falls victim to a heartless society when her parents die and she is forced to liv...more |

I am an Anne Tyler fan and it was great to see this new story hitting the shelves. It's another set of quirky, flawed characters, Aaron Woolcott, an editor in a vanity press married to a practical, cold-blooded oncologist, Dorothy. The story revolves...more |
