Description:
Rachel Benjamin, daughter of the rabbi of the Hasidic community, tries very hard to please her mother. But her intelligence, curiosity and desire lead her to repeatedly evade the strict laws that her father strictly observes. In Joy of the Law, Pearl Abraham provides a revealing picture of the closed Orthodox Jewish community in the United States.
Pearl Abraham (Isra 1960) grew up in an orthodox Jewish family, but decided to go to college after high school and leave the Hasidic community. Joy of the Law, her debut novel, became an international bestseller. This was followed by the novels Distance from America and The Seventh Beggar. Pearl Abraham lives in New York.
'A beautiful book.' - de Volkskrant
