Rent Disobedience

Synopsis

Ronit Krushka leaves behind her ultra-Orthodox Jewish past in England and moves to New York City. However, when her rabbi father dies, Ronit must return and face the community she had tried to leave behind. She also must navigate her relationship with a female lover, a woman who had decided to stay within the strictures of the Orthodox life. Naomi Alderman alternates between Rondit's first-person perspective and an oppressive 'we' that speaks for the Jewish community--the result is a gripping clash of cultures and the story of a woman's struggle for identity.
