Helpful Score: 2
I am so glad that I stuck with this book because, for me, it was a slow-starter. Once I became familiar with the rich cast of characters, I couldn't put it down! It took me a week to read the first three chapters, then a day to read the rest! I loved learning about Orthadox Judiasm. I grew up Catholic, so understand many of the ritualistic behaviors and mannerisms that Tova Mirvis wove into her story. Though-provoking and inspiring.
