<p><strong>A NATION­AL JEW­ISH BOOK AWARD FINALIST</strong></p><br><p><strong>A Recommended Book From:</strong></p><br><strong><em>The New York Times * Good Morning America * Entertainment Weekly * Electric Literature</em> * <em>The New York Post </em>* <em>Alma * The Millions * Book Riot </em></strong><p><strong>A commanding debut and a<br>poignant coming-of-age story about a devout Jewish high school student whose<br>plunge into the secularized world threatens everything he knows of himself</strong></p><p>Ari<br>Eden’s life has always been governed by strict rules. In ultra-Orthodox<br>Brooklyn, his days are dedicated to intense study and religious rituals, and<br>adolescence feels profoundly lonely. So when his family announces that they are<br>moving to a glitzy Miami suburb, Ari seizes his unexpected chance for<br>reinvention.</p><br><p>Enrolling<br>in an opulent Jewish academy, Ari is stunned by his peers’ dizzying wealth,<br>ambition, and shameless pursuit of life’s pleasures. When the academy’s golden<br>boy, Noah, takes Ari under his wing, Ari finds himself entangled in the<br>school’s most exclusive and wayward group. These friends are magnetic and<br>defiant—especially Evan, the brooding genius of the bunch, still living in the<br>shadow of his mother’s death.</p><br><p>Influenced<br>by their charismatic rabbi, the group begins testing their religion in<br>unconventional ways. Soon Ari and his friends are pushing moral boundaries and<br>careening toward a perilous future—one in which the traditions of their faith<br>are repurposed to mysterious, tragic ends.</p><br><p>Mesmerizing and playful,<br>heartrending and darkly romantic, <em>The Orchard</em> probes<br>the conflicting forces that determine who we become: the heady relationships of<br>youth, the allure of greatness, the doctrines we inherit, and our concealed<br>desires.</p>
