Disobedience – Naomi Alderman
Ronit has left London and transformed her life. She has become a cigarette-smoking, wise-cracking, New York career woman, who is in love with a married man.
But when Ronit’s father dies she is called back into the very different world of her childhood, a world she thought she had left far behind. The orthodox Jewish suburb of Hendon, north London is outraged by Ronit and her provocative ways. But Ronit is shocked too by the confrontation with her past. And when she meets up with her childhood girlfriend Esti, she is forced to think again about what she has left behind.

Review from Book Club Meeting:
Some interesting topics for discussion at this month’s book club meeting centered mainly around religion and sexuality. Members appreciated the insight into the Orthodox Jewish community but would have liked to know more and felt some characters were a bit flat. Although the book did spark some great conversation, it failed to grip most readers. However the film did come highly recommended.
Overall, Disobedience averaged ⭐⭐⭐🌜
