This book definitely struck a nerve. The author takes us into the world of the Ultra Orthodox Hasidic Jewish community, and gives us a glimpse of family life through the eyes of two girls raised as sisters.
I appreciated the fact that Markovits shows us both the good, as well as the bad side of the faith. As I read I kept running to the computer to look up different Jewish terminology, it was a learning experience. The story its self went down a path I didn't quite expect. It's a very heartbreaking read that left me feeling unsettled.
