Reva Mann 11 Mar 08
Reva Mann photographed by Vicky Alhadeff
A memoir of life between two worlds.

Reva Mann is the daughter of a highly respected, orthodox London rabbi and granddaughter of the Chief Rabbi of Israel. Growing up in central London, Reva’s life could not have been less orthodox – it was defined by the phrase 'sex, drugs and rock and roll'. But Reva decided to change her life and move to Israel, studying at a yeshiva, a bible study school, and having a marriage arranged for her by a matchmaker. But her rebellious past eventually caught up with her, and Reva’s new memoir, The Rabbi’s Daughter, tells the story of her pendulum swinging from religious to racy and her attempt, finally, to attain a happy medium.

The Rabbi’s Daughter iby Reva Mann is pubished by Hodder and Stoughton ISBN-10: 0340943653
