Opis

Advance Praise for "Seven Blessings" "Arranged marriages will never look the same. Ruchama King transforms the life of Orthodox Jerusalem into the universal terms of love and courtship---and yes, real intimacy and self-fulfillment. A perceptive and charming book."--- Risa Miller, author of "Welcome to Heavenly Heights" "Ruchama King is herself a great matchmaker---between the sensual and the ethereal, between subtle storytelling and startling revelation. Her novel moves with a grace I have not encountered. What a loss it would have been to have never read it, or for her to have never written it." --- Stephen J. Dubner, author of" Confessions of a Hero Worshiper" and" Turbulent Souls: A Catholic Son's Return to His Jewish Family" " I really enjoyed this book. Ruchama King knows Jerusalem, its matchmakers, and the Americans who wind up there looking for love and connection to each other and to God. It made me laugh and it touched my heart. It's a truly wonderful read." --- Naomi Ragen, author of "The Ghost of Hannah Mendes" ""Seven Blessings" is a wonderful literary alchemy that combines Malamud's "The Magic Barrel" with Potok's "The Chosen." Set in Israel and shadowed by the teachings of the Bible, this is a novel that wears its heart on every page and reveals the secrets and mysteries of how souls on earth manage to find the match that they are fated to marry." "--"- Thane Rosenbaum, author of" The Golems of Gotham "and "Second Hand Smoke" "It is a rare event for a way of life to be portrayed with a fresh, intelligent artist's eye. Seven Blessings is such an event---an absolute knockout of a first novel.... It's hard to write a page-turning story about religiouspeople, but King has done it, and with tremendous charm. This is a funny, revealing, wonderful book!" ---Alice Elliott Dark, author of "Think of England" and "In the Gloaming"
