0n the night of 17yo Sorel's wedding, she runs away, into the woods, throws her wedding dress in the river and dresses as a boy - Isser Jacobs. But she soon discovers that there is a real Isser Jacobs, and there are people after him - they want to kill him or at least get a book that is in his possession.
So much intrigue - friends become enemies, and there's no one she can really trust. Lamb is a great mystery writer, the twists and turns and revelations are amazing. When I wasn't reading, I was thinking about The Forbidden Book. Definitely written for a Jewish audience, some knowledge of Jewish traditions and culture is needed to fully immerse in the book. The characters are Jewish.
