| A grand-scale novel spanning four decades, Traditions is the celebration of the family that is America--and the family that is Tiernan. At the center of Traditions are the two Tiernan sisters, Carolyn---beautiful, reli- gious, and principled--and Margaret-- spunky, sexy, and irreverent. Different as two sisters born of the same Tradition can be, they are drawn to all corners of the earth as their talents, drives, and desires lead them from the sound stages of heyday Hollywood to the time-worn "boards" of Broadway; from London s West End theatres to the ex- otic art world of postwar Paris. They live, love, and work behind the footlights, the klieg lights, the cameras, and are seen on the television screens of America and the world. Each sister raises a family. There are fourchildren, each different, with dreams and de-sires all his own. Yet the Tiernan Traditionremains the unbreakable thread that weavesthrough the patterns of their lives and threegenerations from the Depression and waryears; from the frantic fifties to the sexy, tur-bulent sixties and seventies. With drama and verve, Traditions chron-icles the lives of this theatrical family thatis tied together, even kept alive, by itsTraditions. Alan Ebert s rich prose and Janice Rotch-stein s exhaustive research combine to createa rare and compelling novel. |
