The House of Love and Prayer: and Other Stories

This collection of short fiction by Tova Reich is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of Orthodox Jewry.

With an insider's authority, Reich explores the faultlines in unshakeable traditions and the search for meaning, holiness, illumination, and love in the hearts of her characters.

From the opening story, "The Lost Girl," to the closing pages of the collection, we are confronted with souls unable to rest, searching for their place in this life and beyond.

The stories are populated by seekers, both comically absurd and tragic, and offer a moral but not moralizing edge.

Highlights include "Forbidden City," which animates the long-term fallout from the Holocaust, and "The House of Love and Prayer," which encompasses the entire story in a way that will leave readers in awe.
