Our History in New York covers a single year in the lives of narrator Chloe, her long-time lover Helen, and their friends. From AIDS to the glory of Greenwich Village to romance and aging, the novel addresses time, art, mortality and community at a century’s end. The New York Times said of this nationally reviewed author: “Abrams has a superb talent for the specific … She [has] her own style—a mixture of introspection, common sense, daydreaming and recollection—and controls it beautifully.” Sojourner called “each chapter an exquisite short story … Abrams paints … neighborhoods with the precision of the old Dutch Masters.”

House of Waiting is a sweeping, lyrical first novel by Marina Tamar Budhos that charts the stormy marriage between Sarah Weissberg, a sheltered New York woman of Orthodox Jewish parentage, and Roland Sing, a charismatic Indo-Caribbean man. The two are drawn together by their passion and a shared sense of being outsiders in 1950s America. When Roland leaves his wife in New York almost immediately after their marriage to seek his destiny in a bitter political struggle in his native British Guiana, Sarah creates her own community with his East Indian friends in a summer house in upstate New York. Ultimately, she gains the strength to make a dangerous journey to the Caribbean to save her marriage and learn the truth about her husband.
