Title: Doesn't quite work
Review: It's all a little too pat, Tova Mirvis' debut novel -- the free spirit, the gossipping yentas, a world turned upside down. The characters rarely emerge from two dimensions, and the Memphis setting could be any city with a small Jewish community -- or small ethnic community. The one attempt at experimentation, the first-person-plural viewpoint, should have been put aside. Mirvis has talent, but this novel should have been left in a drawer as a guidebook for the next project.
