The Marriage Box by Corie Adjmi

3.0

A Miniature Poodle is lying on a fluffy blanket with a softcover book to her left. The book is The Mariage Box by Corie Adjmi.

This is a compelling coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity, love, and cultural clashes. Set in the 1970s, Casey Cohen finds herself uprooted from her life in New Orleans and thrust into the Orthodox Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn. Ms. Adjmi skillfully portrays the clash between Casey's personal ambitions and the restrictive expectations of her new cultural environment. As Casey navigates the intricacies of her marriage to Michael, she grapples with the sacrifices and compromises demanded of her. Ms. Adjmi's storytelling is immersive, drawing readers into Casey's world and allowing them to empathize with her struggles. This is an emotionally resonant novel that delves into the complexities of tradition, choice, and self-discovery.
