A Novel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a Brooklyn basement, Sima gives neighborhood women the support they need-but struggles with her own secrets: "Much more than a novel of female bonding" ( Publishers Weekly). Sima Goldner runs her own bra shop, where her customers can find not only a perfect fit but also a sympathetic ear. The store, in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, is like a secret underground sisterhood where women of every shape and creed can share milestones, laughter, loves, and losses against a backdrop of discount lingerie. Day in and day out, Sima teaches other women to appreciate their bodies-yet feels betrayed by her own. Shamed by her infertility and a secret from her youth, she has given up on happiness and surrendered to a bitter marriage that has lasted over forty years. But then Timna, a young Israeli with enviable cleavage, becomes the shop seamstress. As the two work together, Sima finds herself awakened to long-lost yearnings for adventure and romance-and must decide if what she has is worth keeping. "A subtle, provocative, and utterly compelling examination of the friendship between two women." -Michelle Richmond, New York Times-bestselling author of The Marriage Pact
