Fin & Lady by
Catherine Schine, 288 pages
This novel is an engaging fictional account of a young, free spirit in 1960’s and and
her orphan brother's coming-of-age as they become each other's family in a tumultuous time. Brief but beautifully described scenes shift from rural Connecticut to Greenwich Village and Capri. Mostly likeable characters deal with issues of romantic and family love and responsibility, quests for personal freedom, as well as the long-lasting effects on baby boomers and US society of the civil rights and political conflicts of the times. Written in easy-to-read, short chapters and an endearing authorial voice.
