I'm halfway through this (I just noticed I was supposed to be finished before I started the new discussion topic; I'll wait next time).
Deen is expelled from the Skverer Hasidic community in Ramapo, New York, about 30 miles northwest of New York City, for holding heretical views. His heresy: behaviours that run counter to the tenet that "All that is new is forbidden by the Torah"
The book's title is an abbreviation of "All who go to her do not return", a phrase from the Hebrew Bible regarding a woman of loose morals.
It's an enjoyable, easy read, with simple and powerful sentence structures and a spare and compelling narrative style.
