Invisible City by Julia Dahl (Minotaur, May 6, 2014)
Young Brooklyn journalist Rebekah Roberts finds herself
covering the brutal death of a young Hasidic mother, a story that draws Rebekah
into a world she knows little about other than it is the world that belongs to
the mother who abandoned her as a young child.
As Rebekah goes after a story that she hopes will keep her fledgling
career afloat, she finds herself drawn closer to the life her mother tried to
escape for love and her daughter, but made to the decision to return to,
leaving Rebekah questioning her past while seeking her future. In addition to being a fascinating portrait
of life in a Hasidic community, Invisible
City is a well-written crime novel with many unexpected twists and turns
and a satisfying if disturbing conclusion.
