I am looking for frum novel recommendations - have you read a frum novel recently that you really enjoyed? Not necessarily looking for intense over the top drama unless it's really well done and meaningful. Thank you!! Could be an oldie but a goodie or new!

Rochel Istrins books are amazing!
Searching
Hidden
Stepping stones

If you're into mystery Ruthie Pearlmans books are also great.
Menucha Chana Levins books are really nice read as well
The youngest bride

Happy Reading!!

I know this is a kids' book but I'm currently ready Bricks and Stones (was Bricks and Ladders when serialized) and enjoying it.

m Kenans books (The Betrayel, The Outcast, The Dark Secrets) are amazing.
They are a level above like Harry Potter is a level above a standard secular book.

I have a random book question. My son went to sleepaway camp and read a frum book there where the main character was Rebbetzin Simchoni Freilich (fictional name of course!!). Anyway he liked the book and I want to get it but he doesn’t remember the title. Anyone?

Yedidya by Noami Elbinger!
Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! It was an incredible novel

Map the Stars by Leah Gebber (maybe a bit too intense)
Other R' Meir Uri Gottesman books: The Chase, Morningstar, The Harp (for Tisha b'Av)
Free Fall by Mimi Zakon. (I also liked The Cohens of Tzfat, though it's a kids' book.)
The Last Rabbi of Lodz by Yonah Klein.
Seconding Shortchanged also.
Name the Stars by Penina Weiser.
Libi Astaire: Terra Incognita. Also, you might enjoy her Jewish regency series.
Second Chances by Yael Mermelstein.
Dov Haller's books.

Song of Redemption - Zacharia Hoffman so so beautiful and sad and so timely for the three weeks
Any of Etka gittels books - fabulously researched and engaging
If only and the sequal even there even now Libby Klein - very touching
Most of Meir uri Gottesman books, they’re a type but I really enjoy them

I know what this book is called in Hebrew, let me know if that info would help you |
Who’s the author? I know the book and it’s an older one but can’t remember the name now.

In Hebrew it's נאמנות כפולה by מ. ארבל
I believe in English he uses the name Yair Weinstock
