How wrong can a grandmother be?
When the matriarch of the least successful Jewish family in America gets tired of their misfortune, she begins to consult mystical texts for help.
Determined that their next born grandchild will be a genius who changes their fortunes, and convinced that no one in her clan is smart enough to raise a genius by themselves, she decides that the child will be passed from household to household to gain their collective wisdom.
A picaresque romp set in 1950's Brooklyn, Cousins' Club is a delightful escape filled with unusual events, radical rogues, cockeyed intellectuals and pie-eyed strivers.
Semi-finalist - 2017 Booklife Prize (Fiction)
Praise from critics and readers:
"A darkly comic novel about an eccentric Jewish family that hatches a novel plan to raise a genius child." (BookLife)
"Written with a sharp, satiric blade, Cousins' Club reminded me strongly of Tristram Shandy." (Readers' Favorite)
"Mix a little Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, some history of lower Manhattan circa 50’s & 60’s and throw it all into a pot of hysterical Jewish humor. Cousins’ Club is a delightful read!" (George Landress)
"A real achievement." (Publishers Weekly)
