The Sabbath World: Glimpses of a Different Order of Time by Judith Shulevitz

3.0

Terry Gross interviewed this author and the book sounded really good. I had to go through inter-library loan to get it. Bit it wasn't what I thought. It was still pretty good. I thought it was going to be a reality-show type of book with her perceptions of what it was like to live a year with one day a week of a strict sabbath. But, instead, it's an academic tome researching the history of the sabbath. Totally not what I thought and dense...the sort of book you have to re-read some sentences a few times. But, I learned a lot and some passages just glided along, rapt with information.
