I just read the book Bee Season by Myla Goldberg. I'm still trying to decide whether I liked this book or not. It definitely held my attention, and I stayed up very late to finish it, so I must have liked it, but looking back, I really didn't connect to the book.
It's about a Jewish family; father Saul, wife Miriam, and children Aaron and Eliza.
On the surface the book is about Eliza's quest for winning a spelling bee, with the study help of her father. It's really more about the study of Jewish mysticism, and spiritual fulfillment.
I would recommend this book, but I'm not saying that you will love it, but I think you would need to decide for yourself.
