When the matriarch of the least successful Jewish family in America gets tired of their misfortune, she consults mystical texts for help.

Determined that their next grandchild will be a genius who changes their fortunes, and convinced that no one in her clan is smart enough to raise a genius by themselves, she decides that the child will be passed from household to household to gain their collective wisdom.

A picaresque romp set in 1950's Brooklyn, Cousins' Club is a delightful escape filled with unusual events, radical rogues, cockeyed intellectuals and pie-eyed strivers.

SEMI-FINALIST - 2017 Booklife Prize (Fiction)

Praise:

★★★★★ - "Written with a sharp, satiric blade, Cousins' Club reminded me strongly of Tristram Shandy."

★★★★★ - "Mix a little Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, some history of lower Manhattan circa 50’s & 60’s and throw it all into a pot of hysterical Jewish humor. Cousins’ Club is a delightful read."
