A story of an Orthodox Jewish girl leaving home to investigate the mysteries of Kabbalah, the story slips between evocative portayals of local culture and moments of magical realism in a way that is beautiful, charming and surprising. The characters made it, and I was utterly caught up in the lives of Malka, and also Moshe. Not one for cynics, but those with an interest in the spiritual side of life will find it a moving and uplifting story.
