I liked the Saturday Wife a lot!!   I also like Naomi Ragen.  I totally identified with Delilah, because she was like a few of the girls that I knew from my small town and our congregation.  Some of us had money, and some wished that we had it.  Some knew exactly what they wanted to do with their lives, and others of us, read all the books with happy endings and fantasized about being a “little princess” that our future successful husband would adore, and cherish forever!!  Going to college was not about higher learning, it was about finding Mr. Right in a bigger gene pool of guys, but maybe not a Rabbi’s son.  Of course, they were not to be ignored, but they did come with family that would have demands and great expectations.  I thought that Naomi, although not a surface person, understood exactly who and what the Delllah’s of the world represent.  They are not necessarily confined to one faith, and although they do believe in their faith, they also love and believe in themselves.  Perhaps this is not a book that explores feminism or Jewish Mores and family life, it just makes huge hints, about equality and fairness.  Perhaps, the underlying psychological motivation s of Delilah and Yitzie were never dissected, but the truth of who they were was always right in your face; because that was how simple and complex, all at once, everything was then.  Maybe it still is, I have just stopped looking, but in my view, Naomi Ragen nailed her subject matter, in ways that made me laugh, remember, admit, and yes, identify with, about the structure, and expectations of the lifestyle and the faith.
