Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Fiction. Latinx Studies. Jewish Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. In America, we're good at dividing ourselves into tribes--into insiders and outsiders--based on race, background and beliefs. But what happens when a person is an outsider within her own tribe? Serach Gottesman, the mathematically-gifted eldest daughter of a rigidly Orthodox Jewish Boro Park family and Paloma Rodriguez, the street-smart Bronx-bred daughter of a neglectful Latina immigrant mother, seek broader vistas within a relationship that is forbidden by both their communities. Love provides them ballast, but they find that some cultural bonds grip tight and some wounds run deep.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Serach and Paloma-daughters of two tightly insular cultures (one Ultra-Orthodox Jewish, the other Latin-Catholic immigrant)-escape their rigidly-defined gender roles to embrace a forbidden union, childfree lifestyles, and ambitious professional careers. They ensconce themselves in a big Brooklyn house, revel in the full range of New York City's cultural riches and dodge the occasional blast of longing for everything they've left behind. It all seems to work until the spring of 2020, when the rules as everyone once understood them shatter. Rampant illness, death, isolation, and chaos rock every family and community of the city and beyond-and a motley crew of unmoored brothers, nephews, and nieces, begin seeking comfort and shelter from two women who never considered rules to be the answer. They find themselves breaking bread with companions they never would have chosen-and might even have been barred from meeting. And Serach and Paloma? It seems they were destined to be matriarchs, after all. They just needed to invent the right family. Acts of Acceptance-a tale of expectations turned upside down and imaginations run wild.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Second in a two-book series on the rewards--and the price--of rebellion. Serach Gottesman--the sheltered but headstrong daughter of a rigidly Ultra-Orthodox Jewish family and Paloma Rodriguez--the tough, ambitious daughter of an even tougher Latina immigrant mother, meet in the first book and (unable to resist one another) launch a forbidden romance.The story now picks up ten years later. Successfully pursuing their careers, ensconced in their big Flatbush Victorian home, delighting in the city's diverse riches, hobnobbing with famous musicians--they've built a loving and satisfying life for themselves. Serach has made peace with all that she's had to sacrifice--her faith, her old neighborhood, her beloved baby brother--to follow the path that she's chosen. Paloma has become highly adept at deflecting her older brother's resentment (and her own guilt) at how far she's come since leaving the South Bronx behind her.And then things happen. An unexpected death. A seductive opportunity. A reckoning over childrearing approaches. A brutal crime. An even more brutal arrest. And all those hard-won balances shift.Acts of Atonement is a quintessential New York City novel (with a couple of side trips to Jerusalem). It illuminates two arch-typically urban communities--Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn and immigrant Latina Bronx. It zeroes in on a particular lesbian couple in a particular part of town. The questions it raises, however, are universal: In a society of robustly insular tribalism, can anyone fully escape the pull of what they've grown up with?In a time of dazzling multi-culturalism, can anyone totally ignore the allure of competing worldviews?In a country that persistently brands certain groups as outsiders, can those outsiders ever truly receive fair treatment?Can two born rule-breakers--no matter how initially smitten--live long-term within the confines and expectations of a permanent partnership?Acts of Atonement asks how far any of us is willing to go to sustain love, to reclaim a heritage, to achieve justice--to stay true to our complicated selves.…
