review of "The Saturday Wife"

Naomi Ragen is one of my favorite authors and having read most of her previous books I can relate to her latest, "The Saturday Wife". On the surface it is a light look at Orthodox Jewery and the very strict restrictions put on the individual. But read seriously--read deeply--and there are current issues to ponder. It is a layered story unraveling the lives of a young couple; he a brand-new Rabbi who thinks he will inherit his grandfather's congregation in New York, she, a beautiful and vivacious new wife who longs for more choices. I think it is a most enjoyable read.

A Saturday Wife

This is very different from Naomi Regan's other books. It's truly a novel but I loved it!! It was a very interesting picture of a girl that married someone she wasn't sure of and of her quest for a "rich" life, in every sense of the word. Naomi....you go girl!! Can't wait for your next book. Thank you, Judy Rock

With more than half a million copies of her novels sold, Naomi Ragen has connected with the hearts of readers as well as reviewers who have met her work with unanimous praise. In The Saturday Wife, Ragen utilizes her fluid writing style--rich with charm and detail--to break new ground as she harnesses satire to expose a world filled with contradiction.Beautiful, blonde, materialistc Delilah Levy steps into a life she could have never imagined when in a moment of panic she decides to marry a sincere Rabbinical student. But the reality of becoming a paragon of virtue for a demanding and hypocritical congregation leads sexy Delilah into a vortex of shocking choices which spiral out of comtrol into a catastrophe which is as sadly believeable as it is wildly amusing.Told with immense warmth, fascinating insight, and wicked humor, The Saturday Wife depicts the pitched and often losing battle of all of us as we struggle to hold on to our faith and our values amid the often delicious temptations of the modern world.
