Our next book: An Observant Wife by Naomi Ragen
“This rich and compassionate novel tells the love story between newly observant California-girl Leah and ultra-Orthodox widower Yaakov. From the joy of their wedding day surrounded by supportive friends and family, Yaakov and Leah are soon plunged into the complex reality of their new lives together in an ultra-Orthodox community as Yaakov leaves his beloved yeshiva to work in the city, and Leah confronts the often-agonizing restrictions imposed by religious laws governing even the most intimate moments of their married lives.
Naomi Ragen packs this novel with complex characters and allows readers a glimpse into a world most would never experience.”
