It is impossible not to be moved.”—Amy Bloom, author of White Houses "This book brings the reader into the heart of a close-knit Jewish family and their joys, loves, and sorrows . . . A marvelous book by a masterful writer.”—Audrey Niffenegger, author of Her Fearful Symmetry and The Time Traveler’s Wife "As beautiful as it is unexpected.”—Claire Messud, author of The Burning GirlThrough one woman's life at a moment of surprising change, the award-winning author Goldie Goldbloom tells a deeply affecting, morally insightful story and offers a rare look inside Brooklyn's Chasidic communityOn Division Avenue, just a block or two up from the East River in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Surie Eckstein is soon to be a great-grandmother. Her ten children range in age from thirteen to thirty-nine. Her in-laws, postwar immigrants from Romania, live on the first floor of their house. Her daughter Tzila Ruchel lives on the second. She and Yidel, a scribe in such demand that he makes only a few Torah scrolls a year, live on the third. Wed when Surie was sixteen, they have a happy marriage and a full life, and, at the ages of fifty-seven and sixty-two, they are looking forward to some quiet time together. Into this life of counted blessings comes a surprise. Surie is pregnant. Pregnant at fifty-seven. It is a shock. And at her age, at this stage, it is an aberration, a shift in the proper order of things, and a public display of private life. She feels exposed, ashamed. She is unable to share the news, even with her husband. And so for the first time in her life, she has a secret—a secret that slowly separates her from the community.Into this life of counted blessings comes a surprise. Surie is pregnant.

Surie Eckstein is 58 years old and pregnant with twins. Already the mother of 9 living children, having married at the age of 16, she's the grandmother of who-can-count-that-high, and is a soon-to-be great grandmother. Her husband of over 40 years, Yidel, is a noted Torah scribe and they live in Williamsburg, New York. If you're in the know, you've already figured out that the Eckstein family are Hasidic Jews.Hasidic Jews live totally different lives than most Jews. Their communities are very strict; children don't go to public schools but learn at religious schools. There are no TVs and no computers. Laptops are referred to as "lep tips" and surreptitious forbidden activities can be punished by literal expulsion from the community. A man or woman who strays from community mores will find their children unmarriagable to other Hasids and themselves shunned at "shil" (shul). Frankly, it all sounds like a difficult way to live; everything is open to interpretation by "the community".Surie and Yidal are beloved in their community. They live in a multi-family house and Surie takes care of her blind, aged in-laws and her multitude of grandchildren. She is seen as "happy" but is secretly mourning the loss of her son, Lipa, who died at 22 as a victim of a hate crime. He had been thrown out of the community for his homosexuality and disease. This was in 2003, when AIDS was known not to be communicable through touch, but the family was briefly shunned after his death. The couple is devoted to each other and their family but are slowly growing apart because they still can't talk about Lipa and his death. But not only can't they talk about Lipa, Surie also cannot tell her husband she's pregnant - at the age of 58, with twins.Author Goldie Goldbloom is herself a Hasidic Jew. She's the mother of eight children but has written three or four novels. Her portrayal of life in a tightly wrapped community where appearance and adherence to rules is everything is almost suffocating to the reader. But she draws a wonderful picture of Surie Eckstein, who is a woman with secrets and is scared stiff the community and her famil will discover them. All the main characters are nuanced, as they are in really well-written books. I don't think you'll forget Surie Eckstein very soon.
