Bette-Lee Fox Recommends The Shiksa Syndrome
Bette-Lee Fox -- Library Journal, 12/12/2008 8:25:00 AM
Recommendation: Laurie Graff’s The Shiksa Syndrome takes a predictable premise and turns it upside down
(or right to left, as it were): a Jewish woman has relationship issues (what else is new), so she pretends to be a non-Jew in order to snag the perfect Jewish mate. But what might appear perfect could actually be a bit chipped and tarnished upon closer inspection.
Ideal recipient: WOMEN, of every religion, race, philosophy, or hair color. If you’ve got a funny bone, Graff will latch on and refuse to let go. The kind of book to recommend to all your girlfriends, girlfriend.
Nonbook Tie-in: There’s an audiobook and a download available. Be advised; people will notice when you snort out loud.
