Title: Religious reflections
Review: Not being Jewish there were parts of this book that I didn't quite get, but being Christian I know enough Old Testament to fake my way through some of the terms and holidays.This was recommended to me by a Jewish-Catholic friend who was very dear to me through college, and I'm glad I read it. The people in each of her stories had a complexity that is hard to find in shorts.. there was depth attained in paragraphs that would take others pages or chapters to attain. I found some of them to be a little bitter about life or their religion - but I books with angry and/or depressed and/or repressed women have their place too.The characters alone made the book well worth the money, and I'm certianly going to pay attention to her future published works. The last short story had me smiling and giggling at the absurdity of it all.Excellent read!
