Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman

Of course I wanted to read since there was a series on it.

I could have seen it with New York Times bestseller tag but I went with it anyway.

The books touches a sensitive topic but not sure if it does the justice. A lot of passages sound incoherent and out of place.  And rather than developing the characters it sounded more like blaming everyone else around. Looking at all the pictures from childhood to marriage to motherhood it is difficult to connect the narrative to them.

We carry our crosses and some of us come out shining to tell the tale. But this was not the tale.
