Book summary

This debut novel (which is not a romance) follows the adolescence of Rachel, the oldest daughter of an Hasidic Jew and his unhappy wife. The author portrays the growing friction between the girl's strict religious upbringing--complete with arranged marriage--and her independent spirit and reckless curiosity.
