Moving and evocative, Lynda Cohen Loigman's debut novel The Two-Family House is a heart-wrenching, gripping multigenerational story, woven around the deepest of secrets. Heartbreak wars with happiness and almost, but not quite, wins. One misguided choice one moment of tragedy. No one knows why, and no one can stop it. When the storm passes, life seems to return to normal but as the years progress, small cracks start to appear and the once deep friendship between the two women begins to unravel. Raising their families side by side, supporting one another, Rose and Helen share an impenetrable bond forged before and during that dramatic winter night. The mothers are sisters by marriage: dutiful, quiet Rose, who wants nothing more than to please her difficult husband and warm, generous Helen, the exhausted mother of four rambunctious boys who seem to need her less and less each day.
