The romance reader - Pearl Abraham

Rachel Benjamin is the rabbi's eldest daughter. She is expected to set an example for her brothers and sisters. She must wear thick tights with seams; she must never wear a bathing suit in public; she is not to read novels in English. But Rachel does read forbidden books; she starts to wear sheer stockings and to take classes to become a lifeguard. As the prospect of an arranged marriage draws nearer, Rachel is torn between the opportunity it offers to leave her family and the realization it is not a genuine escape.
