Synopsis
In a Brooklyn basement, Sima gives neighborhood women the support they need—but struggles with her own secrets: &“Much more than a novel of female bonding&” (Publishers Weekly). Sima Goldner runs her own bra shop, where her customers can find not only a perfect fit but also a sympathetic ear. The store, in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, is like a secret underground sisterhood where women of every shape and creed can share milestones, laughter, loves, and losses against a backdrop of discount lingerie. Day in and day out, Sima teaches other women to appreciate their bodies—yet feels betrayed by her own. Shamed by her infertility and a secret from her youth, she has given up on happiness and surrendered to a bitter marriage that has lasted over forty years. But then Timna, a young Israeli with enviable cleavage, becomes the shop seamstress. As the two work together, Sima finds herself awakened to long-lost yearnings for adventure and romance—and must decide if what she has is worth keeping. &“A subtle, provocative, and utterly compelling examination of the friendship between two women.&” —Michelle Richmond, New York Times–bestselling author of The Marriage Pact
