In Tel Aviv, a young woman barricades herself in a bedroom on her wedding day, sending her extended family into crisis, in Ronit Matalon's slice-of-life novel And the Bride Closed the Door.
This is a slender volume, but rich in characters and situations, as some of the backstory of the bride's life begins to slowly unfold. Plenty of eccentric characters and quirky episodes, including a section where they try to reach the bride through a window with a borrowed bucket truck.
But it is tinged with melancholy also, as some family tragedy is gradually revealed as well.
A brisk but rewarding read that I borrowed from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana.
