"An accomplished and absorbing debut."--Times Literary Supplement
"A wonderful novel. The real wonder is Alderman's capacity for original thinking....Orthodoxy
absolutely glows out of the pages of Disobedience, as rich and fresh and fascinating
as this lovely novel itself."--Sunday Times (London)
"Fascinating...a meditation on faith, belonging, and self-emancipation."--Guardian
"Move over, Zadie Smith."--Elle
"Accomplished...offering a glimpse of a closeted and surprisingly English nook of British society.
Alderman has a bold comic touch."--Observer
"An excellent choice for women's book clubs."--Booklist

For Ronit Krushka, thirty-two and single and living on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Orthodox
Judaism is a suffocating culture she fled long ago. But when she learns of the death of her
estranged father, the preeminent rabbi of the London Orthodox Jewish community in which
she was raised, she leaves behind her Friday-night takeout, her troublesome romance, and her
boisterous circle of friends to return home. Her dual mission there is to mourn her father and to
collect a single heirloom of her mother's. But as she reconnects with old acquaintances and the
traditional ebb and flow of the community, Ronit becomes more than a stranger in her old home
--she becomes a threat.
Set at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, Disobedience explores a devout and
closed world to discover the importance of moving on and what we lose when we do.
