The Marrying of Chani Kaufman

19 year-old Chani lives in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community of North West London. She has never had physical contact with a man, but is bound to marry a stranger. Buried secrets, fear and sexual desire bubble to the surface in a story of liberation and choice; not to mention what happens on the wedding night…

Longlisted for The Man Booker Prize 2013.

Chani lives in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community of North West London. At nineteen, she is about to marry a boy she scarcely knows. The rabbi’s wife has taught her what it means to be a Jewish wife, but Rivka has her own questions to answer as her own life and marriage fall apart. Buried secrets begin to surface in a story where everyone, young and not so young, has choices to make about love and desire. Written with wisdom and humour, Eve Harris’s liberating novel illuminates the conflict between traditional religion and the contemporary world.
