The Two-Family House by Lynda Cohen Loigman
3.0
This book is the story of two women, married to two brothers, who live together in a two-family house. Rose has 3 daughters and Helen has 3 sons. They each become pregnant and hope that their child is the opposite sex of what they already have. In a blizzard, with their husbands away from home, the women both give birth on the same night, to a boy and a girl.
What happens next is a secret that the women carry with them for many years, through tragedy and heartache and it breaks their friendship.
I knew from p.2 what they did, and therefore, it didn't keep me wondering. I was just waiting for when the secret would be revealed. I was glad to see how some of the characters changed, but was disappointed in others. I thought some of the writing was very plain and unsophisticated.
It was a quick read, but it wasn't spectacular.
