This is a great book! It is Cynthia Freeman's first novel and captivates your interest from page one. It never gets boring at all. The book is an impressive character study about a family denying their Jewish heritage to make their way in America in the 1930's. The novel takes you from the 1930's to the 1950's, from New York to Chicago to San Francisco. It can still be found in some public libraries. The publisher should release this book again for a whole new generation of readers to enjoy.

This is my all-time favorite book. My copy is so worn I have to use a rubber band to keep it together. It is a great story about making the best of things, pretending to be who you are not and ultimately, coming to terms with the truth - and the freedom that that brings! I loved every single character!

read this in high school and loved it. Many years later still loved it all over again. Searched and searched until finally
found on amazon. will treasure it and pass it on.

My review title says it all. I have only ever read Portraits (LOVE IT!) and this novel by Cynthia Freeman. Glad she kept at it - this was very 'eh'. Will keep trying her other books.

This was the first book I read by Cynthia Freeman. After that, I read them all. However, this one was the best. The characters are real and the story is amazing. I will never forget it. It held your interest from the beginning and 20 years later I still remember it.
