Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman

2 reviews

mmefish's review against another edition

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

It could be a 5 but I wanted to know more about how she actually left, how she was fighting for her son, how her family members reacted. Plus I did not appreciate the few misogynistic remarks the author decided to include for whatever reason.

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Very different from the Netflix show: more dark, cultish & sad. I thought it would be like Fiddler on the Roof but it was more Handmaids Tale 😢 These Hasids make the Amish look progressive 4📖
