2.0 out of 5 stars Promises much but gives litle, 17 Sep 2003

By	Mr T J Williams (Brough, East Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This novel fails to convince at every level and really belongs with the other shmaltzy stuff on the railway station newsagents racks. It is not serious literature and is a world away from the serious Israeli Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Mizrahi authors;although it is clearly taught in American colleges as it has a series of essay questions at the end for readers to answer; say no more.
It is an unbelievable story supposedly about the untra orthodoz world in Jerusalem and its interaction with secular Israel and family connections and financial backers in New York. Its characters are one dimensional and stereotypical. The main character of Dina acts in a totally uncharacteristic way and could not 'get away' with her trips to Tel Aviv and the secret meetings etc unnoticed in the 'real world'. Her husband is also one dimensional and appears as aa simpleton. The whole novel is badly written, is boring and is really beach reading, a holiday romance type book, rather than an intelligent glimpse into two or even three very different worlds..the orthodox, the secular Israeli and the hopelessly bankrupt, hedonistic, selfish, materialist nasty world of New York's bourgeoisie.
