Zoe Heller Quotes
The Story Of Carol's Transformation Evoked Complicated Feelings In Rose. It Appalled Her, Of Course. The Idea Of An Educated, Metropolitan Woman Voluntarily Casting Off Every Vestige Of Modernity In Order To Make Herself Over As A Medieval Ghetto-dweller Was Unconscionable - But It Also Inspired A Sneaking Envy. By Submitting To The Restraints Of Orthodoxy, Carol Had Not Only Performed An Impressive Act Of Self-denial - An Act Guaranteed To Appeal To Rosa's Ascetic Sensibility - But Also Freed Herself From The Burden Of Trying To Improvise Her Own Moral Code. These Days, She Always Knew What The Right Thing To Do Was - Or If She Didn't, She Knew A Rabbi Who Did. Every Aspect Of Her Daily Life Was Consonant With Her Convictions.
