I was ecstatic when I received Goyhood in my mail as an ARC, by none other than Reuven Fenton! He is a New York Post reporter and an amazing author. He has gained national acclaim for his exclusive reporting on a variety of national stories. Eager to dive in, I couldn’t wait to explore a genre that was entirely new to me.
Goyhood is a soulful, heartfelt, incredible novel that dives deep into the relationship between 2 brothers, David and Marty Belkin. They are both opposites, Marty studied the Talmud in New York, and David went down a completely different path, full of drugs, women, and schemes. Marty aka Mayer is a Talmud scholar who dives into his roots after finding out that he and his brother aren’t Jewish, a product of the devastating passing of his mother.
