One of those that you've picked up before, started, went "eh" to and put down. I'd picked up "The Ritual Bath" once before and only made it about three chapters in (failed the 3 chapter test) but I kept hearing good things about this pair and about the author so I decided to give the book another shot. I'm glad I did. This book is actually very well written. I'm not sure why I didn't see it before. My guess is that I had to mature into the book as I have into others. What I loved about this book is that you could feel the emotions of the two main characters just rolling off the pages. You felt the struggle and the temptation and the integrity of Peter and Rina, and you cheered for them. I found myself rolling my eyes at Chanya (maybe it was Chayna, I know it was a C name) and smiling at Sarah and Rina's two boys. I was interested in the characters' lives. I found the picture painted of live on the yeshiva interesting. I'm definitely searching out other works by this author, in order, so I can watch the relationship between Rina and Peter progress. This is one book I'm glad I gave a "second chance" to.
