Run you down

This sequel to Dahl's Invisible City is told from two points of view-those of Aviva, a mother who abandoned her daughter in infancy, and Rebekah, the daughter who is now a journalist in New York City. Aviva had grown up in New York in a strict Hasidic environment and rebelled by running away and having a baby with a Christian Floridian. After abandoning her daughter, Aviva returned to New York. Rebekah was raised by her father in Florida, then earned a degree in journalism, and found a job with a New York newspaper, where she had the freedom to investigate crime in the Jewish community. As she investigates the death of a young wife in an ultra-orthodox Jewish community, she gets closer to her roots, as well as getting closer to her own peril. Rebekah discovers that her mother has links to the story she is investigating, and by the time the two women meet, they fear the repercussions of their connections. Andi Arndt narrates each voice distinctly. Verdict The view Dahl offers into Hasidic society is captivating. This audiobook will be in demand, especially in diverse communities.
