A delightfully updated Pride and Prejudice with a
Russian-Jewish flair The Matrimonial Flirtations of Emma Kaulfield is an often
laugh-out-loud comedy of conflicting manners, values, and
customs, set against the backdrop of a Russian immigrant
family’s struggle to assimilate, their newfound love of
capitalism, and their insistent push for their children's
tangible success. Emma Kaulfield escaped the Soviet Union in
the 1980s when she was 10--hers was one of the last Jewish
families to be let out. Now a gorgeous young woman, going to
grad school at NYU, chaffing at the cultural restraints of
her heritage, Emma is engaged to someone just like her--a
handsome young Russian Jew--but then a steamy encounter with
a stranger in a restaurant bathroom turns into a torrid love
affair. She wrestles with what she knows she should do
(career vs. art); who she should love (one of her own vs.
the exotic temptation), to remain loyal to her family, her
people--after all they have suffered--or cut ties and defy
those who love her. The Matrimonial Flirtations of Emma
Kaulfield builds in power and suspense, easily becoming an
all-night binge read, impossible to put down. Fishbeyn’s
debut novel is sexy, hilarious, heartbreaking, and breathtaking. The Matrimonial Flirtations of Emma Kaulfield is an often
