Story
Platform Seven at 4am: Peterborough Railway Station is deserted. The man crossing the covered walkway on this freezing November morning is confident he's alone. As he sits on the metal bench at the far end of the platform it is clear his choice is strategic - he's as far away from the night staff as he can get. What the man doesn't realise is that he has company. Lisa Evans knows what he has decided. She knows what he is about to do as she tries and fails to stop him walking to the platform edge. Two deaths on Platform Seven. Two fatalities in 18 months - surely they're connected?

Summary
In a cramped synagogue in north-west London, the eminent elderly rabbi passes away. On the other side of the Atlantic, his estranged daughter, Ronit, hears of her father's death and returns to London for the funeral. She has not returned home in 15 years.
Ronit looks forward to a week or two of revisiting old friends, perhaps settling old scores. But she finds the community she grew up in a more confusing place than she'd anticipated. Particularly when she is unexpectedly reunited with Esti, her childhood sweetheart, who has taken a very different path in life....
Disobedience is a hugely enjoyable and warm-hearted portrayal of characters caught between two worlds, and a wise exploration of sexuality, tolerance and faith.
Now a major motion picture starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams.
Critic reviews
"A bold comic touch.... Like Brick Lane, offering a glimpse of a closeted and surprisingly English nook of British society." (Observer)
"A fresh, feisty peek at the hidden world of London’s Orthodox Jewish Community." (The Independent)

You just needed to find someone who can pronounce Hebrew words. It's not that hard, seriously. This is an old favourite book of mine and audio is a disappointment. Constantly distracted by pronunciation mistakes.

Disappointing ending
I'm not going to lie- the only reason I downloaded this book was purely for LGBT representation. It was a good book overall, all little slow to get going and in parts a bit boring to listen to. I think I had built up the ending a little too much, I admit, however I felt like there could have been a better one. Overall it was good, not amazing, but good. I felt that Esti and Ronnit's relationship could have been developed more. In saying that, their relationship was the only reason I was enticed to read it. For the general reader I would recommend. For folk like myself who were gagging for some representation- not worth the hype around it.

Great book badly read
This is an excellent novel, a subtle exploration of Jewishness, orthodoxy, father-daughter relationships, sexuality and community. But it really needed to be read by someone different, who doesn’t consistently mispronounce Hebrew and Yiddish words. Even we’ll known words like Shabbat were wrongly pronounced, let alone HaShem . This was profoundly irritating throughout.

Mixed feelings
The story is good. The narration is well done. The pronunciation of Jewish words is ABYSMAL! I cringed with discomfort throughout. Surely it is obvious to the producers of this audio book that these words, which are key to the story, need to be spoken correctly. I ask you?!

Ruined by pronunciation
This wonderful book was ruined by the pronunciation of the Hebrew and Yiddish words. Basic words like Shabbat and Kiddush were mispronounced and some of the words were incomprehensible. The narrator otherwise did a beautiful job and the blame must go to the producers.

I am not even sure what it was about this book I liked. It wasn't super exciting or full of drama but I couldn't wait to start listening every day. It was beautifully written and well read. The characters were deep and interesting and I was immediately invested in them. I am very sad it is over!

Nearly
I loved the detail of this book. Many of the author's descriptions of people and places are spot on and beautifully evocative. I'm happy to say the story shied away from being too simplistic or predictable. There are delicious moments where the tension between colliding lives are explored; where the pull towards traditions is balanced by the pull away towards freedom.
On the downside, I agree with a number of other reviewers that the relationship between the two main female characters could have been better developed. I also found the mispronunciation of Hebrew words jarring. It is a shame, especially because the narrator managed other aspects of the task well, with well-defined voices for each character and a natural story-telling style. The production team also share responsibility for poor pronunciation of key words reaching the final edit.
Readers who enjoy insights into cultures and communities other than their own will probably find gems in these pages. The narrative offers a glimpse into Orthodox Jewish life in London; albeit this shows only some sides of a diverse community. However, I'd suggest Hebrew speakers read rather than listen and I'd caution anyone seeking an LGBTQ representation that this book only goes so far, though does raise important questions.

Overall it was ok, I guess... Not really.
This story had so much potential, but unfortunately the narrative went, in my opinion as a gay woman, in a homophobic direction. That whole speech about desiring someone of the same gender is ok as as long as you don't act on it is harmful. It would have been fine it had been addressed as so, but it isn't, too many questions remained unanswered by end but that might be just me, I hope they tweak a few things in the adaptation to the big screen.

Excellent story dinged by poor narration
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend it especially to someone who does not know how the Hebrew and Yiddish should be pronounced.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Disobedience?
When Esti is in Hamden seeing how the secular world acts on a Friday afternoon. Her description of Shabbat and what it means to her is stunning especially against the backdrop of her reason for being there.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
As I said - the narration was OK except for the mispronunciation of the Hebrew and Yiddish. At times it was comical because she said words that mean other things...
If you could take any character from Disobedience out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Ronit - I feel like I would like to hear more about her life in the orthodox community vs. her life outside.

Movie is MUCH better
The flow of the story didn't allow for true connection between the two women. There was too much focus on insignificant details vs. spenidng more time on the relationships and tension of their attraction. It didn't need to end with everyone happy, but I felt wanting much much more.

Hmmm...Eh
Having seen the movie, the book was much less in comparison. I would say, the book was boring. The only few things I liked was that it answered some questions like, how long Ronit was away and oh Dovit was Ronit’s cousin, okay thanks! The book failed to portray Este and Ronit’ relationship in a deeper sense. Felt more like Ronit only liked Este due to jealousy or some sport. Overall, skip the book and just watch the movie.

Orthodox Jewish Women
Would you listen to Disobedience again? Why?
Yes, need to understand what the author is going through as a modern Jewish Women.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I liked the end. It reflected how I felt as a Jewish Women in America in the 20th Century.
Have you listened to any of Rachel Atkins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The Hebrew pronunciation of many words was incorrect and that bothered me. If you don’t know Hebrew you would enjoy her British accent. The author is British make it more meaningful to use this narrator.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was moved by her decision about being a Jew and/or a lesbian. She is bi-sexual but explains that unlike African Americans, Jews and Lesbians can choose to ignore their differences and keep others from knowing they are different. This may cause some from feeling isolated but know one questions their behavior. One must admit to being different.
Any additional comments?
It is important to know where you come from and where you are going in America. This seems to be the message the author is communicating to all readers. Be yourself!

Would you consider the audio edition of Disobedience to be better than the print version?
I haven't seen the print version so I wouldn't be able to tell that.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Disobedience?
Every detail about the jewish religion were my favorite parts.
Which scene was your favorite?
So many that it would be hard to tell.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did that actually.
Any additional comments?
Didn't like the end too much, I was expecting something different but loved the book.
