Nineteen-year-old Chani Kaufman is betrothed to Baruch Levy, a young man she's seen only four times before their wedding day. All the cups of cold coffee and small talk with suitors have led up to this moment. But the happiness Chani and Baruch feel is outweighed by their anxiety about the realities of married life; about whether they will be able to have fewer children than Chani's mother, who has eight daughters; and about the frightening, unspeakable secrets of the wedding night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the story of Chani and Baruch's unusual courtship, we meet a very different couple: Rabbi Chaim Zilberman and his wife, Rebbetzin Rivka Zilberman. As Chani and Baruch prepare to share a lifetime, Chaim and Rivka struggle to keep their marriage alive-and all four, together with the rest of the community, face difficult decisions about the place of faith and family in the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLonglisted for the Man Booker Prize and selected as an Amazon Best Book of the Month, \u003ci\u003eThe Marrying of Chani Kaufman\u003c\/i\u003e is a \"deeply melodic and exciting\" story that \"will resonate with readers from all backgrounds\" and \"linger after the last page\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEve Harris\u003c\/b\u003e was born to Israeli-Polish parents in West London.
