Synopsis

Longlisted for The Man Booker Prize 2013.

Chani lives in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community of North West London. At nineteen, she is about to marry a boy she scarcely knows. The rabbi’s wife has taught her what it means to be a Jewish wife, but Rivka has her own questions to answer as her own life and marriage fall apart. Buried secrets begin to surface in a story where everyone, young and not so young, has choices to make about love and desire. Written with wisdom and humour, Eve Harris’s liberating novel illuminates the conflict between traditional religion and the contemporary world.
