Publisher's Synopsis
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a community in possession of an older single woman must marry her off. However little known the feelings or views of the single in question is unimportant-nor is it vital to determine if she already has family acting on her behalf: she is single, therefore, they must do their duty by her and see her to the marriage canopy." The Jewish community of Boxton, Vermont has a serious problem. Six serious problems, actually. Their names are Ariella, Yocheved, Shuli, Batsheva, Malca Dina and Liora. These young women aren't getting any younger. Fortunately, a local high school has just hired a young, eligible bachelor to serve as dorm counselor -- and he's brought his best friend along. Could it be that things are looking up for the single women of Boxton? Join the girls as they go through the ups and downs of traditional Jewish dating, otherwise known as "the Parsha," in this retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel.
