Two sisters recover from widowhood, divorce, and Bernie
Madoff as unexpected roommates in a Manhattan apartment
Unexpectedly widowed Gwen-Laura Schmidt is still
mourning her husband, Edwin, when her older sister Margot
invites her to join forces as roommates in Margot’s
luxurious Village apartment. For Margot, divorced amid
scandal (hint: her husband was a fertility doctor) and then
made Ponzi-poor, it’s a chance to shake Gwen out of her
grief and help make ends meet. To further this effort she
enlists a third boarder, the handsome, cupcake-baking
Anthony.
As the three swap money-making schemes and
timid Gwen ventures back out into the dating world, the
arrival of Margot’s paroled ex in the efficiency apartment
downstairs creates not just complications but the chance for
all sorts of unexpected forgiveness. A sister story about
love, loneliness, and new life in middle age, this is a
cracklingly witty, deeply sweet novel from one of our finest
comic writers.
