On Division
by Goldie Goldblum
4/5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a joy to read a coherent, beautifully written book,
with fully realized characters that follows an actual plot line!
(Can you tell I've read some stinkers lately?)
This book is about an older Chassidic mother who unexpectedly conceives twins,
and how this affects her relationships with those around her.
It's a fascinating glimpse into a community many don't know much about.
This was a very fast read, and extremely well-written.
In addition, you always knew when the action was taking place,
and who the narrator was.
By the end of the book, I really felt like I knew Surie and her family,
the characters were described well,
and I appreciated the family tree at the front of the book as well,
although I would like to have known more about the ancestors.
I recommend this book with no reservations!
