Trapped between her identity as a Modern Orthodox mother and her secret atheism, Rina Kirsch’s life changes forever after a night of wife-swapping. The experience sparks a forbidden affair with her art teacher and a return to painting, forcing Rina to choose between the safety of tradition and the risky pursuit of personal freedom. Told in the fevered tenor common to both lust and religious devotion, Olive Days is an unforgettable story of the agonizing choices women make to balance duty against desire.
