Mordechai Wolkenbruch, Motti for short, a young Orthodox Jew, has a problem: the marriage candidates his mame presents to him all look just like her. Quite unlike Laura, his neat fellow student, who is unfortunately a shiksa: she wears trousers, has a pretty tuches, drinks gin and tonic and uses improper words. Doubts beset Motti: is the path laid out for him really the right one? His obedience to his mame and her unsettling methods fades, and his passion for Laura grows. Things take their course, and Motti soon learns that shiksas, too, have their quirks. A comic novel peppered with Yiddish.
