Hush by Eishes Chayil

Although this book was published in September 2010, I only read it very recently. Incidentally, this is the point of Chatter On Books, it’s all about books, and what matters is that they are read not when they were published. Hush is definitely one of the top 5 books I read in 2013. 

 

The story takes place in the closed Hasidic community of Borough Park, New York and is told from the viewpoint of Gittel and the catalytic decade 1999 – 2010 that defined her life.
