Book of Faith, The
Mordecai Richler meets Jane Austen in The Book of Faith. Faith, Rhoda, and Erica, affectionately known the Three Graces, are members of a liberal Jewish congregation in contemporary Montreal. Rabbi Nate wants a grand new synagogue; Marty, the congregation’s treasurer, harbours a raunchy secret; and Melly is a hard-nosed Holocaust survivor with an agenda. Award-winning author Elaine Kalman Naves’s debut novel is a delicious send-up of synagogue politics. It is also a paean to friendship.
“In The Book of Faith, Elaine Kalman Naves is as wise about 21st century synagogue intrigues and middle-age romances as Jane Austen was about early 19th century English drawing rooms. In fact, if Austen were around today – and Jewish, of course – I’m betting this is the kind of novel she’d be writing. Kalman Naves’s story of love and loss, femalefriendship and hard-earned resilience is fast-paced, heartfelt and sharply observant. The Book of Faith is a serious delight.” — Joel Yanofsky, author of Bad Animals and Mordecai & Me.
