Summary |
Miri and Ben's paths should never have crossed. Although they live in the same north London neighbourhood of Stamford Hill, they come from two culturally different communities that rarely interact. Miri is a sheltered but contemlative young woman from a Chassidic family. Her strict upbringing has prevented her from pursuing a career of being allowed to date. She has never even spoken to a boy other than a close relative. Soon, she will be expected to marry , but she fears being forced into an unsuitable shidduch (traditional, arranged marriage). When her more adventurous friend invites her for an evening out, she agrees on a whim. It is an experience she will never forget. There, she meets Ben. Kind, sensitive, and hiding his own secret pain, Ben is from the exiled Middle Eastern Jewish community of Aden." |
