Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman

6 reviews

mmefish's review against another edition

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

It could be a 5 but I wanted to know more about how she actually left, how she was fighting for her son, how her family members reacted. Plus I did not appreciate the few misogynistic remarks the author decided to include for whatever reason.

I read this book because I know very little about the Hasidic culture. I learned quite a bit but also left feeling like there is so much more that I don't know.
