Title: Maiden rites
Description: At the age of eighteen, nice Jewish girl Hannah Wolf has two burning ambitions: to escape the confines of family life in Flushing, Queens - and to be swept off her feet by a clean-cut Ivy League Mr. Right. So how does she wind up with a balding neurotic Columbia drop-out like Moshe Wozinsky? Maiden Rites is just that: a tale of initiation painstakingly detailed by an innocent, who discovers the brutality as well as the rapture of carnal knowledge.
