An interesting and fairly well written story. Certainly a story that would be well understood by those who found themselves unable to stay within the parameters of their upbringing. The author shows a lot of affection for the Jewish faith and I found that comforting. I think the tone she was trying to set is that opposite extremes are not necessarily the only options. It is possible to value a background, but also disagree with it. There is a lot of subtle wisdom in this book, which takes a very stoic approach to sexuality vs. religion.
