Description



Book Synopsis



This is the story of Mara, a Jewish girl from Riverside Drive, and a hippie from Israel whom everyone distrusts, and the Orthodox wedding that unites them.



Review Quotes




Mara is startling, playful and irreverent. It has none of the pieties you would expect in a book cluttered with wedding canopies, crocheted skullcaps, ritual baths, and the Hebrew bill of divorcement.-- "The New York Times Book Review"

It is evident from the very first page of Mara that an extraordinary energy is at work. The opening scene, an Orthodox wedding uniting Mara, a Jewish girl from Riverside Drive, with a hippie from Israel whom everyone distrusts, floats up into life with an unmistakable and spontaneous buoyancy.-- "Harper's"

Reich's voice is a striking one: she has a gift for outrageous, hard-edged comedy that Evelyn Waugh might have appreciated.-- "Newsweek"
