Praise

“The Biblical Books of Ruth and Esther have found their American sister-wife in Miriam, the serenely weird testament of an unintentional heroine in an intentional community, and an act of novelistic grace that deserves more than cult status, but its own goddamned religion.”

—Joshua Cohen, The Netanyahus, 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
