I think I can confidently say that I have not read another historical romance like “Marry Me at Midnight”. The story is a reverse Cinderella story that takes place in the British Jewish community in the 1830s. The book is imbued in and celebrates its Jewishness. I learned so much by reading this book, be it the legal state of Jews in England at this time, the difference in position and attitude between Sephardim and Ashkenazim, Yiddish words I had not heard before, or religious observances. The characters are well drawn and highly likable. The relationship between Isabelle and Aaron is hot and vulnerable and wanting. I liked the secondary characters a lot, especially Miriam. This is the first in a series that I look forward to continuing.
