The marvellous story and major bestseller The Marrying of Chani Kaufman continues in the new novel by the ›Booker‹ nominee Eve Harris.

Chani has made it: she married the man of her choice — a rare blessing in her Orthodox Jewish community. And now? Be fruitful and multiply, says HaShem, but for ten months they do not become pregnant, which causes Chani great distress, as she knows that her husband has the right to divorce her if she is unable to bear him children. To make things worse, there is no room for childless, divorced women in her strict community. Between London and Tel Aviv, the multiple narratives weave a story of Orthodox Jewish life and the sacrifices that come with choosing your own path — frum or frei.
