You Made Me Love YouThe three appealing Zarr sisters each face life-altering decisions about work, love, ambition, and family. “Make it in Hollywood,” is Estelle Zarr’s mantra. She dreams of becoming a celebrated film editor, but she also wants love, litheness, and approval from her eccentric, showbiz parents. Pretty Erica Zarr flails from comedy improv, to photography, to writing. Her current live-in lover, a major New York novelist and intellectual isn’t the answer. A fateful meeting with a woman rabbi guides her future. Their sister Jess’s perfect life was set in stone when she was 21 – marriage, children, and a business. Ten years later, the stone is cracking. Joanna Goodman’s funny and wise novel is contemporary and timeless. |
