From the acclaimed author of "The Power," awarded the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction in 2017, comes a compelling story of transformation and return. Ronit has left her past life in London behind to embrace a new identity in New York as a savvy, cigarette-smoking career woman entangled in an affair with a married man. However, the death of her father draws her back to the childhood world she believed she had permanently escaped. In the deeply traditional, Orthodox Jewish community of Hendon in north London, Ronit's bold lifestyle and attitudes stir disapproval. Yet, it is not only the community that is taken aback; Ronit herself is confronted with memories and feelings she thought were long buried. Her reunion with Esti, a friend from her youth, prompts her to reevaluate the life and relationships she has left in her wake.
