Book Reviews of Rashi's Daughter, Secret Scholar
Book Review: A disgusting distortion of the truth - how could this rubbish be published?
Summary: 1 Stars
Rashi was one of the Jewish religion's holiest men of the Middle Ages. His daughters were known for their piety and generous natures. They are held up in many places as the prime example of how a Jewish woman should live.
The disgusting distortion of the truth that appears in this book portrays them as sexual perverts and low-lives. The author admits that she made up most of the book, and only based it loosely on historical fact.
[...]
What a disgrace that this book ever saw the light of day.[...] Even that was being kind on it. Don't waste your money on this rubbish.
If you want cheap sexual stimulation, buy yourself some pulp fiction. If you want a historically accurate account of great women, but something based on the truth.
On no account buy this appalling book.
