This review is from: Season of Delight (Hardcover)

We are in the head and heart of the progragonist, who is very thoughtful and spiritual--but is no saint. One can suffer with her real pain--that of losing touch with her adult children as well as seeing so many other young Jews leave the fold--but also experience her attraction to a younger man, though she loves her husband. Though the book hasn't the "edge" of much modern fiction, that is its charm: unself-conscious prose.The Jewish ritual and medical-rescue detail was vivid and enlightening.

This review is from: A Season of Delight (Paperback)

This wouls have been a better book if the author created the characters more. Its hard to believe the main character is only 48 years old, the way she is written she comes across to be much older. The concept of the Jewish heritage and practicing Shabbos was interesting, but not enough to hold my interest. Got about half way through and put the book down. It wasn't worth reading any more
