To Frances, an only child living in McCarthy-era Brooklyn, her mother, Hilda, and her aunt Pearl seem as if they have always been friends. Frances does not question the love between the two women until her father's job as a teacher is threatened by anti-Communism, just as Frances begins to learn about her family's past. Why does Hilda refer to her "first pregnancy," as if Frances wasn't her only child? Whose baby shoes are hidden in Hilda's dresser drawer? Why is there tension when Pearl and her husband come to visit?
The story of a young girl in the fifties and her elders' coming-of-age in the unquiet thirties, this book resonates deeply, revealing in beautiful, clear language the complexities of friendship and loss.

Hilda and Pearl
This book was a little slow and boring to me. I think the author did a good job showing the complexities of a loving friendship between sisters-in-law. I enjoyed some parts of the story. The story took place before, during, and after World War II. The characters worried about the stressful times, but their lives were not as impacted as most people's lives during that time. The characters did have many personal problems, but these were mostly caused by their own actions. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more events in the book.
