Un livre magnifique, absolument magnifique. Surie est un personnage terriblement humain, doux et complexe.

I had just finished watching Shtisel on Netflix and wanted more of the community and the traditions when I started reading this novel.
We meet Surie who is part of the Williamsburg Jewish community, about to become a great-grandmother. As the novel opens, we find Surie waiting for the bus home having just confirmed that she is pregnant with twins.
We hear all of Surie’s thoughts: how and when is she going to tell her husband? What is she going to do? I found myself on the edge of my seat for almost the entire book; This story welcomes you into a hidden world; forces you to feel all the emotions and contradictions of living a life and leaves you embracing all the joys and deep sorrows of a life well lived.… (meer)

Married at 16, deeply settled into and revered in her Chassidic community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - and Surie Eckstein is pregnant again, with twins, at age 57. Medical or religious miracle and embarrassing and disastrous for the status of her family, Surie cannot bring herself to tell her loving husband Yidel, a Torah scribe. She chooses her non-Jewish midwife as her confidante and stretches the boundaries of life outside her home, learns English and anatomy, and risks losing everything. Surie's melange of courage and foolishness make this an endearing portrait of a woman who daringly reaches beyond her cocoon. The author is divorced, has eight children of her own and is a member of the Chassidic community of Chicago.… (meer)
