Book rec and another pic
Do you know that feeling when you see something in a shop you'd really, really like to have... just not yet? It took me weeks to buy this book, and in the end I even got it for half the price because the side is scratched.
It's Disobedience by Naomi Alderman. I inhaled that book in a day and loved every little thing. It's about faith and religion, about history and life, about love and sexuality, about London and New York, about duty and disobedience.
In an afterthought, it fits into my current studies.
Ronit has left London and transformed her life. She has become a cigarette-smoking, wisecracking, New York career woman, who is in love with a married man.
But when Ronit's father dies she is called back into the very different world of her childhood, a world she thought she had left far behind. The orthodox Jewish suburb of Hendon, north London is outraged by Ronit and her provocative ways. But Ronit is shocked too by the confrontation with her past. And when she meets up with her childhood girlfriend Esti, she is forced to think again about what she has left behind.
