Unmatched: an exclusive interview with author Sarah Lavane
Why This Gripping Memoir Has Captivated Readers   

 

With her sometimes funny, always intimate, uncensored memoir, Sarah Lavane puts a human face on the challenges of being “unmatched” in a “matched” Orthodox Jewish world. She takes us along on her journey. We learn how her background shaped her relationships and perceptions of God from a young age. She then delves into the ups and downs of dating, the tug-of-war she feels between men she may date and those who are off-limits, her heartfelt attempts (conventional and not) to change her fate, and her poignant struggles with God through it all. Thoughtful and humorous, this page-turner draws the reader in.

Unmatched by Sarah Lavane shines the spotlight on the “unmatched” in a manner one can’t ignore.

  • Jewish Action compared Unmatched to an “immersive experience of a visitor to a museum of the blind.” The reader is plunged into Sarah’s environment with all its raging emotions.
  • Named one of the “Six Best Books of the Year” by The Jewish Link
  • The Algemeiner called Unmatched “one of the best books on Jewish dating you will ever read… will force you to look at single people in a new and more compassionate way.”
  • Has touched readers of all stripes – matched, unmatched, Jewish, and not.
  • This memoir is a must-read for the currently “unmatched,” anyone who’s ever wondered, “Why isn’t so-and-so married?” and readers who enjoy memoirs that give insight into the human condition.
