Lynda Cohen Loigman's 2016 debut novel, The Two-Family House, takes place in Brooklyn, a place to which she feels a strong connection—for two reasons. First, the New York borough was once her mother's home; second, it is the setting for her favorite childhood novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a book that has cast a spell over Lynda from the time she was 10. "No other book I knew offered the same vivid characters or richness of setting. I must have read it fifty times," she said during an interview on Tall Poppy Writers.
Loigman grew up in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. She received a B.A. in English and American Literature from Harvard College and a J.D. from Columbia Law School. She is now a student of the Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, and lives with her husband and two children in Chappaqua, New York. (From the publisher.)
