pickI‘m not religious and was brought up in a very lackadaisical religious household - but I suspect that this book could have been written about any strict religious community - it just happens to be a Jewish one as it‘s based on the authors upbringing.
I enjoyed this a lot more than The Power, thought the characters were more real and the discussions about societal/religious expectations very current.

minkyb Glad to read this. I will definitely try it...eventually lol. 6y
CarolynM I really liked this too. I agree that the fundamentals of the story could have been in any strict community, but I liked the Jewish cultural references and the glimpses of London's observant Jewish community. I think it would be a great book club read too @Cinfhen 6y
