"I adored this book -- it's brilliantly written. I may have to think about it a bit more before I finish writing my review, but essentially it contains so many things I really enjoyed: it has gorgeous prose, it had lots of words I had to look up, it takes place in an academic environment, and it involves characters I really liked and cared about. As a bonus, we get a unique look at one of the Hassidic enclaves in New York. "
