But there are all sorts of surprising complexities in the failed marriage of Kit the WASP flame-haired rich girl and Manny the wry wise-cracking Jewish TV composer which has produced two precocious sassy children and a situation in which the ex-wife and the ex-husband can't seem to live with each other or without each other.'Avec Schmaltz' (a phrase European musicians would ironically use to instruct violinists how to emotionally heat-up their romantic string passages) is about this devoted divorced couple their new partners and their two glib offspring at holiday time. It moves from a Currier and Ives winter wonderland of Christmas Eve in Connecticut to a New Year's Eve in sun-drenched Beverly Hills California. It concerns the ex-marital couple their lovers and would-be-lovers entering and exiting in a farcical light-hearted but dead-serious comedy in two acts. There is no facile resolution to the question of \"will-they-or-won't-they?\" get back together. Rather there is the emotional vitality of people clinging to what relational lifeboats they are tossed in the buoyant excursion called life!\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48433154130169,"sku":"9780573600760","price":20.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/HBp2M3eBIR9780573600760.webp?v=1779519274","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/avec-schmaltz-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
