Hi Rachel, The Saturday Wife, by Naomi Ragen, is based on Madame Bovary. I loved both books, but many will not appreciate Ms. Ragen's scathing social criticism of the Orthodox community.

Besides Paula Marantz Cohen's Jane Austen in Boca, Much Ado About Jessie Kaplan, etc. are there any other novels with Jewish content that were inspired by the classics? Any other suggestions for good read-a-likes for The Innocents are appreciated too. Many thanks!
