Navigate the witty and high-stakes world of New York politics and family expectations in this sparkling romantic comedy. Close Relations introduces Marcia Weiner, a brilliant political speechwriter who has her life seemingly under control—except for her complicated love life and a traditional Jewish family that is desperate to see her married. When she finds herself caught between a charming, high-society Irishman and the sensible, "appropriate" man her family prefers, Marcia must decide if she can win the political campaign without losing her own heart. Susan Isaacs delivers her signature blend of sharp humor, social observation, and genuine warmth. The narrative expertly balances the fast-paced energy of a political race with the intimate, often hilarious pressures of family loyalty. A classic example of early 1980s contemporary fiction, this novel explores the friction between modern independence and traditional roots with style and intelligence.
