I think I placed too high expectations on this book. I hoped Ner David would help me explore some of the issues I grapple with with these mitzvot. Instead, her wrestling with them was entirely in different directions to some of my own wrestling. It wasn't the book I hoped it would be, but was still interesting. I far preferred the more combined scholarly and anecdotal approach of her first book. This book was more personal, but less textual.
