Publisher's Synopsis
When Hannah Eisin snags an interview with controversial Talmud professor Nathan Mandel in 1955 Brooklyn, her goal is to gain the respect of her male coworkers at the Daily Freiheit. But everything changes after she persuades Nathan to become her teacher and guide into the mysteries of the text forbidden to women. Secret meetings and lively discussions bring the two to the edge of a line that neither dares to cross.
