Mrs. Hornstien
by Fredrica Wagman
Review this book!
Frederica Wagman writes of family, of passing generations, of love and striving, and of grief, loss, and renewal. Her narrator begins with a day blurred in memory and concludes many all-too-fleeting years later, when she meets the woman her son would marry and realizes who she has become. Her son is marrying Marty Fish, born poor and abused, and the world of Mrs. Hornstien is one of triple strands of pearls and vaulted ceilings.

Media Reviews
"A consumer fantasy, yes, but this bologna wrapped up like a Black Forest ham should sell."
First Line
I remember the first time we met as though it were yesterday.
