Abstract
"The novel, set in contemporary Melbourne. tells the tale of a charismatic New York rabbi who arrives with his guitar and a beautiful voice. He teaches sweet, seductive Torah to the wild and vulnerable youth of Melbourne, brought up on an austere diet of Holocaust survival and Zionism. In introducing the mysteries of Kabalah, among other questionable activities, he causes havoc and even death. Freddie Rose, a 30-something wealthy woman, is both beguiled and repelled by the rabbi, and when she finds the diaries of an old friend who was the rabbis assistant, she begins a path of discovery.
