Sima?s Undergarments for Women Audio CD ? January 1, 2009 by Vanessa Hart (Narrator) Ilana Stanger-Ross (Author) "In a tightly-knit Hasidic community, Simas's lingerie shop is literally a women's community center. For decades, ladies of all ages have come to buy her beautiful merchandise and tell her their troubles. And besides that-Sima can tell them their bra size the second they come in! The shop is Sima's whole life, and she takes pride in her work. However, her personal life is one of isolation and bitterness. In her sixties, she is trapped in a joyless, silent marriage that has given her neither love nor children-and she harbors a secret that has burdened her since her teens. One day a lovely young woman walks into her shop seeking employment- and Sima develops a friendship that makes her yearn to really live again. This novel has a wonderful heroine. Despite her nosiness, irritability, and lack of boundaries she still has a love of life, a yearning for love, and a good heart. I couldn't help liking her. Her story is both poignant and funny, and the reader will find him/herself rooting for her. Sima's Undergarments is a great fit!"
