The book you want to take on vacation

The ingredients for my vacation: sun, beach, a nice drink in hand, a towel that stays nicely on my sunbed, and a book. A phenomenal book, if possible. One that makes you think you live in Antwerp and teach the children of a Jewish family. Just to name something.

No, I'm not just naming anything. With a bit of bad luck, you'll finish this book before you even check into a hotel room, it's that good. I'm talking about ‘Mazzel tov’ by author Margot Vanderstraeten. The free-spirited Margot tutors in a modern Orthodox Jewish family. She enters a world bursting with customs and traditions. What can you eat together, what can't you? And why doesn't the father shake her hand? With every page, sympathy, misunderstanding, and wonder creep in where you least expect it. So read. On vacation. Or at home. What does it matter to you?.
