How Sweet It Is! Thane Rosenbaum
This hilarious novel follows the Posner family--two Holocaust survivors and their young son--doing everything they can to avoid one another in Miami in 1972, the site of the Republican and Democratic political conventions, the rise of the counterculture, the Cold War, the desegregation of the old South. This is also the Miami of Gleason, Sinatra, Lansky, and I.B.Singer.
