The follow-up to Unorthodox (the basis for the award-winning Netflix series), now updated with new materialâthe story of what happened in the years after Deborah Feldman left a religious sect in Williamsburg in order to forge her own path in the world.
What The Reviewers Say
[Feldman's] resolve and unwavering quest to fill the space left when she fled her repressive Hasidic community are impressive.
... is in many ways intriguing and intellectually satisfying, but for fans of the Netflix series and for readers who prefer an exciting, plot-driven story presented in simple, straightforward prose, it may disappoint. Her biggest fans, on the other hand, the ones who read everything she writes, may be surprised to realize they have seen quite a bit of this story before.
Feldman’s story might be already well-known to readers; her previous memoir was the basis of the Netflix series Unorthodox. Her newest book is equally riveting.
For those who read the first book, this one will offer answers to questions that she raised there. Readers who have not read Unorthodox, however, won’t have all of the background that underlies this sequel even though Feldman combines some material from the first book into this one.
