In this episode of “613 Books” Podcast, producer-host Heather Dean speaks with journalist and Mishpacha Magazine contributor Barbara Bensoussan about her novel, “Pride & Preference,” a frum homage to the Jane Austen classic, “Pride and Prejudice.”

The episode begins with an exploration of an essay Barbara published in Mishpacha magazine as a call to achdus in light of the massacre on October 7 and a personal tragedy that struck Barbara’s family seven years prior.

Barbara and Heather also discuss a variety of modern-day conundrums that occur in the lives of Barbara’s characters which mirror modern-day shidduch circles.
