This was my first experience with Susan Isaacs so I was surprised at the story. It was easy to read but sad.

Share Nicholas and Jane's good times, bad times, joys, and tears- from their cold-water flat in Hell's Kitchen to their rolling Connecticut farm, from their Fifth Avenue duplex to a London hospital.
Get to know the families that sired them-the aristocratic East Coast Cobleighs and the eccentric Cincinnati Heissenhuber.
A warn witty, and wonderfully entertaining novel.

A beautiful man. A brilliant woman. And a life together that is almost paradise.

If you love a twist in what you thought was a predictable story, then you are not going to be able to put down this book about the lives and history of Jane and Nicholas Cobleigh... Get out the hankie...

I remember reading this book in the 80's. Loved it. Obviously, twenty-something years later, to me, it was a great book.
