5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking story of Cousin Love, October 11, 2011
By 
This review is from: Family Truths (Charnwood Library) (Hardcover)
This and its companion volume, Family Ties, together are perhaps the best fictional treatment I've seen about first cousins who fall in love. They are part of a Jewish family in north New Jersey and New York City. Although cousin marriages are frequent in Judaism and legal in both states, their family objects vigorously and will not allow them to marry each other. So they marry other people, but over their lifetimes their love for each other does not waver. In the process, they learn some things about skeletons in the family closet and the efforts to conceal them. The story is a ringing tribute to the perseverance of real love.

My only regret is that the covers of the paperback editions are different from those on the hardbacks and make these stories appear to be "trashy romances." They're neither trashy nor "romances" in their genre.
