Long Island Compromise

Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner is superb. Funny and frightening. The Fletcher family is dissected. One of the sons, Nathan, says the Shema’ each night for everyone in his family taking up 75 minutes daily! One of the rabbi’s explains how The Torah is really just a bunch of family stories and that if they had kept writing the Torah there would be “A Book of Fletchers.” Beautifully structured and you may be shedding tears toward the end.
