Joanne Greenberg's latest novel is _Miri,Who Charms_ (Montemayor Press, 2009). This deceptively simple novel received little attention in the press, but lingers with its readers. Waiting to learn whether her friend's young daughter can be saved from a cave exploration, Miri's friend Rachel reviews their friendship from it beginnings as they transgressed Shabbat boundaries in Denver's Orthodox neighborhoods, and contemplates unwitting betrayal and its consequences.
I am working on a critical study of Greenberg's fiction, and would be delighted to hear from other readers of her work. Gail Sherman Professor, English and Humanities Reed College Portland OR 97202 gail.sherman@reed.edu
