The Two?-Family House

Posted: April 24, 2016

Mort and Abe are two brothers who shared everything. They both run their father's business. Both are married, and live in a duplex, one up one down with their families.

Mort and Rose had three daughters. Mort loved his daughters, but longed for a son. Abe was married to Helen and had four sons. Helen would like nothing more than to have a daughter. Rose and Helen were very close, perhaps like sisters. They were both thrilled when they found out they were with child again. Due only a few weeks apart. Little did they know that they would have the babies on the same day. What happened that night would change all their lives forever.

Rose was never the same after the birth of the babies. Mort on the other hand was over the moon that he finally had a son. Abe just as thrilled to have a daughter. As the children grow, the two youngest were spoiled by everyone except for Rose.

After a tragic accident these two former best friends barely spoke to each other. Can life ever be the same in this TWO-FAMILY HOUSE?

What a great book. Lynda Cohen Loigman writes such a wonderful story. Two families pretty much the same in everything. Being Italian this is how families are. Spending holidays together and always there for each other. Lynda's spellbinding story shows how no matter how close you are, things can change when making a decision.

I found myself wondering if it ever came down to making this kind of decision, could I go through with it? Family is family, but one wrong move will change a family for a life time. THE TWO-FAMILY HOUSE puts you right into the family. You are happy for one, but very sad for the other. Change affects everyone and does change a life forever.

Read TWO-FAMILY HOUSE, it will grip you from the beginning to the end.

Book Summary

Brooklyn, 1947: in the midst of a blizzard, in a two-family brownstone, two babies are born minutes apart to two women. They are sisters by marriage with an impenetrable bond forged before and during that dramatic night; but as the years progress, small cracks start to appear and their once deep friendship begins to unravel. No one knows why, and no one can stop it. One misguided choice; one moment of tragedy. Heartbreak wars with happiness and almost but not quite wins.

From debut novelist Lynda Cohen Loigman comes The Two-Family House, a moving family saga filled with heart, emotion, longing, love, and mystery.
