4.0 out of 5 stars Nifty little book, October 5, 2004
This review is from: The Dyke and the Dybbuk: A Novel (Paperback)
You don't need to be a Jewish lesbian to enjoy the strong female characters [Gay sex is kept to a descriptive minimum] and the spin on jewish mysticism and folklore that is presented in this book. Who would take offense to corporate politics displacing Sheol or the dybbuk's attempts to modernize haunting in the 21st century? The dybbuk comments on the holocaust are priceless as is the sly treatment of evil and the afterlife in the book. Very Jewish! By the way, I will never look at the Hasidim the same way again...

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad, not bad..., April 16, 2000
This review is from: The Dyke and the Dybbuk: A Novel (Paperback)
considering this is my first delve into lesbian and jewish literature, i was quite impressed. the book gave a whole new outlook on evil spirits and demons and gave jewish lesbians an interesting perspective. the only reason the book didnt get 5/5 stars from me is that the ending could've been a little stronger. other than that, the book was wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars witty, funny and full of lesbian and Jewish life, November 21, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dyke and the Dybbuk (Paperback)
Ellen Galford's quick wit and sense of historicity make this novel a truly delightful romp through 20th cen. London lesbian, ultraorthodox Jewish and 19th cen. Eastern European Jewish life.

Galford is as witty and literary as Jeanette Winterson, with a Jewish twist and without Winterson's arrogance. Brava, Galford! --Valerie K.
