Through fiction, this MacArthur Foundation Fellowship winner dem- onstrates that the tension between reli- gion and doubt cannot be understood by rational argument alone. Author Naomi Ragen, recently voted one of the three most popular authors in Israel, offers in Sotah (St. Martin's Press) a contemporary story of the struggle to reconcile tradition with freedom, faith with love. Beautiful, fragile Dina Reich, a young woman in Jerusalem's fervently Orthodox haredi enclave is accused of adultery; exiled to New York City, she meets Joan, a secular woman who challenges all she knows of the world and herself. Into the Wilderness (White River Press), a novel by Deborah Lee Luskin, is a tender romance between two 64-year-olds, widow Rose Mayer and never-married Percy Mendell, set against the backdrop of Vermont's changing seasons. Set in Rome, Tom Raclunan's The Imperfectionists (Dial Press) is a debut novel told in linked stories about the private lives of the reporters, editors and executives at an interna- tional English-language newspaper as they struggle to keep their publication — and themselves — afloat. In Hidden Things (Atria; July 6), author Pam Jenoff (Almost Home) brings back Foreign Service diplomat Jordan Weiss, still haunted by unan- swered questions about the death of her college boyfriend Jared and thrust into an international counterfeit ring that involves a very rare vintage of wine that disappeared in the 1940s. Allegro Goodman (Intuition) updates Jane Austen for the dot-com era in The Cookbook Collector (Dial Press; July 6), a tale of two sisters — one a dot-corn whiz, the other a philosophy post-grad who works at an antiquar- ian bookstore — who both seek love. In As Husbands Go (Scribner; July 6), author Susan Isaacs introduces us to Susie Gersten, who is left alone with her triplets in a big suburban house when her plastic surgeon husband is found dead in a prostitute's apart- ment. What better sidekick to track down the truth than Susie's rogue granny, Ethel. CUSTOMER APPRECRAIION 1 1 Joan Leegant's Wherever You Go: A Novel (WW. Norton; July 12), set in Israel, follows three Americans in search of spiritual salvation; its themes include the pull of religion and the attractions of Jewish extremism and its costs.
