Dina and Julia first meet at a surgical convention and bond over
frustrations with their husbands' demanding schedules. But
geography, time, and growing families make maintaining their
friendship difficult and their relationship eventually falls apart.
One of them is left to wonder why; the other has a secret. But
neither of them knows that decisions made by family members decades
earlier have set them on a collision course. Years after their
friendship ends, Julia gets word that her daughter has suddenly
become seriously ill-and she and Dina must decide whether they can
face the history that now unites them and muster the maturity to
rescue their emotionally tattered families. A sweeping saga that
follows generations from a shtetl in Odessa to the comforts of
Scarsdale, an uprising in Glasgow to servitude in the Caribbean,
and a trek through the Alps to a displaced persons camp in Italy,
The Convention of Wives is a story about the ever-evolving
messiness of friendship and marriage, and the wonder of survival.
