In Erica DeQuaya's, Double Mitzvah, the reader encounters the passion and beauty found within Orthodox Judaism.
Annie reminisces on how Joel and she met, while preparing for Shabbat, the weekly Jewish Day of Rest. She and Joel have completed their time of celibacy and eagerly anticipate a night of fervent passionate sex, known as a Double Mitzvah because it is Shabbat.
Erica DeQuaya succinctly and gently introduces the reader to a world misunderstood by both Jews and non-Jews. Through Annie and Joel's life, the reader discovers the ardor and holiness found in the marriage bed.
Double Mitzvah opens the reader's eyes to the splendor of short- term chastity and the ecstasy of anticipation. Erica DeQuaya adroitly illustrates the intense joy of seduction by words and the pleasure of delayed fulfillment.
Double Mitzvah is a fast paced, unstoppable read. I hope that Erica DeQuaya continues to write about Annie and Joel. She lovingly portrays their love and delight in each other.
