Book Description Authors like Anita Diamant (The Red Tent) and Allegra Goodman (Kaaterskill Falls) have written about the com-pli-cated world of Jewish women. Now newcomer Ruchama King delves into this territory, with a remarkable debut novel that explores the intricate relationship between love and faith. Skillfully, King interweaves the lives of five Jews who have come from elsewhere to settle in Jerusalem's Orthodox community. Each seeks the right match and, in finding happiness, must come to terms with how the study of Torah in this intimate community affects each person's feelings about romantic intimacy and marriage. This fresh and poignant novel shows how these five people find love and harmony without losing their faith.
