Summary of this Book... | ||
Rina is an Orthodox Jew, married with two young children. When her husband proposes a wife swap to perk up their marriage, Rina is compliant. Compliance is something that, on the surface, rules Rina's life. Her inner life, however, is a turmoil of doubts: about her marriage, her faith, as well as the deeper meaning of her life and her place in it. When her husband blames her for his guilt about the swap, Rina's inner life explodes. No longer willing to be the good, totally compliant wife, she ventures out in ways that will shatter her reality. This book is about being found, and of profound loss. | ||
