| The Family Markowitz |
Synopsis
In The Family Markowitz, Goodman writes with charm and compassion about three generations of Markowitzes making their way in America. Among them are Rose, the cantankerous matriarch; Henry, her gay, married son who runs a Laura Ashley shop in London; her younger son Ed, a terrorism expert at Georgetown; and Ed's daughter Miriam, the medical student who, to her parents' consternation becomes a born again Jew. Through extraordinary crises and ordinary rituals, they assert their love and independence, and never fail to speak their minds.
