Family Feeling

Ballantine Books

The turbulent marriage of a young couple, entrapped by their dreams and illusions about themselves and each other, ends in the husband's murder when the wife is driven beyond her endurance

The youngest of four sisters, a noted New York writer and critic, eighty-year-old Jenny has flown to Miami Beach to help her flamboyant sister Flora (the Sandra Bernhardt of the senior set) deal with their ailing older siblings. Eva, ninety-five, is still elegant and articulate: "They come if it's convenient," she ventures between wine toasts to her continuing years. Naomi is ever a beauty at ninety--and as vain as they come: "He's crazy about me, but I just brush him off." Despite their fragile bodies, they are women to be reckoned with--and Jenny and Flora have their hands full. As they strive to keep their sisters comfortable and cared for, an explosive history of sibling rivalry is reignited--one that illuminates each of their long lives, the tender joys and sorrows, and the bittersweet ache for life, especially in its twilight years. . . .

How She Died

Heinemann

Recounts the geographic, economic, and social migrations of Barry and Anne Goddard, and of their five brothers and sisters, children of immigrant Jewish parents, preservers of old-world family ties and ways, and conspicuous consumers of new-world myth, manners, marriage, and money

DOUBLEDAY

At eighty, Jenny is the baby, the youngest of four surviving sisters of a large Jewish family, the Witkovskys. She has reluctantly left New England, which she loves, to travel to Miami (she thinks of it as "Their-ami"), summoned by her eccentric sister Flora, who at eighty-five still chases men. Their sister Naomi is dying of cancer at ninety, and Eva is fading away simply because she is ninetyfive. The sisters quarrel as they always did, railing at and forgiving each other. Even so, "Why can't we live forever?" one of them asks.
