About Sotah
"Fragile, exquisite Dina Reich was raised to be an obedient daughter, a dutiful wife. In modern Jerusalem, within the vigilant confines of the ultra-orthodox world of the Haredim, she is bound by the strictest letter of ancient law.". "At seventeen, Dina enters an arranged marriage to a loving, generous man. But restless yearnings - for knowledge, for romance, for excitement - drive her into a dangerous flirtation. When the insular community learns of her transgression, Dina is subjected to an ordeal. Like the Biblically ordained ritual for the wife suspected of adultery, the Sotah, this will either destroy her or vindicate her completely. Forced into exile in New York, Dina is appalled by the shallowness of American life. Yet it is here that she must fashion her own traditions and find the courage to return to Jerusalem to reclaim her husband, her family and her life. Ninety three weeks on the best seller lists."--BOOK JACKET.
