Lynda Cohen Loigman

Loigman practised law before writing, and her novels are Jewish family stories in twentieth-century New York built around what women in one house decline to tell each other. The Two-Family House puts two brothers and their wives in a Brooklyn brownstone and a secret about the night two babies arrive. The Wartime Sisters sends two estranged sisters to the Springfield Armory in 1942. The Matchmaker's Gift runs a girl who can see who belongs with whom in 1910 alongside her granddaughter, a divorce lawyer, eighty years later.
