From the best-selling author of The Ladies Auxiliary, a hilarious new novel about two Orthodox Jewish families brought together by the marriage of their children. Tzippy Goldman's mother has been planning her wedding since before she was born. Her four younger sisters want her to marry the crown prince of Boro Park. But Tzippy, approaching spinsterhood at the age of twenty-two, has other ideas. Tzippy has been on one too many blind dates in the lobby of the Brooklyn Marriott. She is hungry for experience and longs to escape the suffocating expectations of religious stricture and romantic obligation. Bryan Miller's family lives in a liberal New Jersey community. Like Orthodox Jews anywhere in the world, they spend Saturdays in synagogue. And like suburbanites anywhere in the world, they wake up on Sundays and take their kids to Little League games and stop for pizza on the way home. But to Bryan, this middle road looks more and more like hypocrisy. He longs for conviction, for the relief of absolutes. To his parents' bewilderment and horror, he trades in his beloved Yankees cap for the black fedora of the ultra-Orthodox. In the courtship of Bryan and Tzippy, and in the progress of their highly freighted love affair and marriage, Tova Mirvis illuminates an insular world, where ancient and modern collide. With warmth, originality, and remarkable insight, she considers isolation and assimilation; the fervor of the zealot, the doubt of the truly faithful; the hunger for freedom, the hunger for God; and the retreat into traditionalism that has become a worldwide phenomenon among young people of all religions. The Outside World is a marvelous evocation of family and community, and of the struggle to be religious in a modern world… (meer)
Confrontatie tussen de werelden van een modern-orthodox gezin in New Jersey en een ultra-orthodox. Link is Bryan-Baruch- de zoon van het eerste gezin, die na een verblijf aan een jesjieve in Israël een Toravast en door rituelen en Joodse wetten gedomineerd leven gaat leiden, zeer tegen de zin van zijn ouders die met lede ogen het afknagen van het harmonies samengaan van Jodendom en verlichting aanzien. Baruch gaat een huwelijk aan met Tzippy, het meisje uit het andere gezin, dat op een volwassen wijze in tegengestelde richting evolueert, op zoek naar zichzelf, weg van de beschermende cocoon die haar moeder rond het meisjesrijk gezin spon. Mooie karakters, warme persoonlijkheden, integer op zoek naar de jusite weg. Erg verduidelijkend ook over de levenswijze in streng-joodse milieus, de huwelijksgeplogenheden, omgang man- vrouw. Een aanrader voor wie in op een prettige manier inkijk in deze wereld wil krijgen. ( )

Tzippy Goldman was a good girl. Yet she lay awake and wished she could run across the living room, fling open all the windows and all the doors, and scream.

At least for this moment, Naomi had them here, and hungry or not, they were going to sit together and eat the dinner she had prepared.
