Hamodia's new serial Changing Faces

I'm really enjoying this new serial. It seems to me that Alisa is a compulsive liar and there are still many interesting plots to come.

I always get the feeling they leave out some important things that link one episode to the next. All their serials are disjointed.

I'm LOVING it!

I know what you mean about disjointed (and that's why I'm a firm believer that novels should be written as one long piece and then serialized cuz often characters and comments are forgotten about) but this one doesn't seem to be that way at all.

Bundy-- care to give us some sneak preview?

I'm trying to figure out Esther. Also, it's moving fast and I'm wondering with a pit in my stomach what will happen when Reuven finally opens his eyes.....

My family LOVES it. My teenage daughter loves it because it's one plot, and not jumping continents or centuries like some do. My husband likes the writing. I have a hard time reading train wrecks, even well written ones, so this is one of those that I'm reading peeking through shuttered fingers.

I'm loving it as well! Not a dull moment! Can't wait to see what happens now that the neighbor said their wives had never met!

I'm really enjoying the story also. I do not like being left on edge though Very Happy

Obviously the wife is a liar, that much is clear...anxiously awaiting the next chapter Smile

Really love the serial! Aliza is so scary, pathological liars totally freak me out. But I think that Reuven is totally realistic, young husband trying to think the best of his wife....

I am also enjoying this serial. I am actually looking forward to getting to know Aliza's sister more. Now that her teacher approached her, I wonder if she'll open up and get help?

I've been enjoying it as well.

I might prefer to wait until it comes out in book form to take a sneak peek at the ending so I can be more at peace Wink

I agree. It has joined the first thing I turn to when Hamodia comes to my door (recipes go first Smile

) I understand that Aliza is a liar but I think its the way she learned to defend herself and act 'normal' with the life she had growing up. Over-controlling and lying father, a mother who does not stand up for anything...her husband is so different from her life she doesn't know how to deal with it. I love the writing. Thanks so much!

It's a defensive mechanism.

Being from a family who had issues with lying and exaggeration, I think it depends on how big the lie is. I try to be very careful not to exaggerate though. What's the difference between exaggeration and lying? Is there really a difference al pi halacha.

Bundy, the way you're writing the serial it's hard to see where the truth really lies. If this is intentional, it's very thought provoking. Because at the beginning, I was Rolling Eyes

at Reuven's mother because she's so melodramatic.

At any rate, it's a very interesting, if somewhat perplexing serial at this point. B'hatzlacha.
