Free spirit Sonia longs to escape the restrictions of the community into which she was born--the tiny, hermetic cultural circle of the Brooklyn Hasidim--and rebels against her erudite but emotionally cold arranged husband by initiating two affairs: one with his jeweler brother, and one with a Puerto Rican outsider whose experience of life is miles apart from hers.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Yakin dares to not only enter that neighborhood, but to find beauty and sadness in it, rather than something alien or foreign.
