Audience Member About a self-proclaimed rabbi who takes on 7 wives. Fascinating study of the pathology of women who accept anything, even that which is intolerable, for the sake of being loved. - Also speaks of the disastrous consequences of leaving a man's ego unchecked. - Excellent character study if you find the lives of ordinary people, in extraordinary circumstances, interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
