A literate and literary memoir of a woman who grew up trying to reconcile the worlds of Orthodox Judaism and secularism and feminism. Blumberg explains very well the balancing act she didn't even know she was performing until she went to school in Israel, and her work is imbued with the love of books both Jewish and non-Jewish. There are parts of her story I don't enjoy as much, particularly when she imagines what it was like for young men studying at yeshiva or talks about her own yearnings in metaphors and similes that I can't quite get my head around. But that could just be me preferring memoirs to be in plain prose and more like fact than fiction. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

To learn was to live, and to learn well was to live well. This was the lesson of both cultures of the Modern Orthodox Jewish world in which Ilana Blumberg was educated, with its commitment to traditional Jewish practice and ideas alongside an appreciation for modern, secular wisdom.
