Unorthodox (by Deborah Feldman)

At first I worried I'd already read this, a memoir of a woman who left Hasidic life, but then realized I was thinking of a different book about a different Hasidic sect that I read for a different Read Harder year, Uncovered by Leah Lax.

For me, Unorthodox spent too much time focusing on childhood and not enough on adulthood. Of course once I did the math I realized Feldman was still pretty young, she wrote the memoir at age 26. Bu the time she got married, she already had one foot out the door. Ultimately I preferred Uncovered,  but I still found Unorthodox interesting and was wholeheartedly rooting for Deborah Feldman!
