Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Publisher's summary
Brooklyn, 1947: In the midst of a blizzard, in a two-family brownstone, two babies are born minutes apart to two women. They are sisters by marriage, with an impenetrable bond forged before and during that dramatic night; but as the years progress, small cracks start to appear, and their once deep friendship begins to unravel. No one knows why, and no one can stop it.
One misguided choice; one moment of tragedy. Heartbreak wars with happiness and almost but not quite wins. From debut novelist Lynda Cohen Loigman comes The Two-Family House, a moving family saga filled with heart, emotion, longing, love, and mystery.

A Two Family Saga
This book is set in late 1940s Brooklyn and focuses on a close-knit large extended family who live and work together in the family box factory. The story clips along at an engaging speed with lots of dialogue, well developed characters and several convoluted family secrets.
The storytelling really shines in its ability to make the characters believable people you can care about. Even better, gradually and subtly the story becomes a mirror the author, Loigman, holds up to the reader. The listener may even be able to recognize people, behaviors, and choices from their own lives and family in these characters. In doing this, the author shows the often inept and unaware power family members have over one another. This, at times, makes the book thought provoking and insightful. At other times, the writing had some clunkiness to it and I'm hoping this will disappear with experience.
The narration was a bit wooden in spots but over all Kreinik did a good job capturing the feeling and tone of the time.
If you enjoy multi-character complex family dramas set in distinct historic locations you might just like this book. I really enjoyed it.
P.S. I agree with another reviewer -- I hope we hear more about Judith -- maybe book 2?

Family (melo)drama
Initially, I wasn't sure about this one. The narration seemed flat, and the prologue set up an obvious scenario. But the author pulled off a compelling story of (2) families, close in proximity but so far apart in temperament. The narrator really nailed the dialogue. I'm glad I stuck with it !

Interesting story not well executed
I liked the story but there was just too much wrong--though it was good enough to finish.
Spoiler free review.
1. The audio narrator: Fine when there's no dialogue (and there isn't that much, oddly) but when there is, Kreinik only has about 3 only mildly distinct New York accents for about 20 characters.
2. Too many characters! Within the 2 families and extended family, most of the characters are underdeveloped or barely mentioned. I think a couple of the sons didn't even get more than one line of dialogue.
3. Time: Huge jumps in time are tricky and the author did it about as poorly as I've ever seen it done.
4. No explanation for 2 people who are as close as siblings for years suddenly being estranged. Well, you can figure it out, but a long time goes by before we even get the inner thoughts of the person who now hates the former best friend. The former best friend (who has done nothing wrong) tries for years to patch things up, and gets nowhere. And somehow there's only one person who notices? Not believable.
5. One main character starts out fairly likable and then becomes a total wretch. You can guess why in one case, know why in another, but again the lack of inner thoughts just leaves the reader/listener with scenes of the person being horrid to everyone.
6. The ending comes way too fast. After the big reveal, there's about 5 minutes of inner thought and then everything is hunky dory. I find it hard to believe anyone would be so accepting after 5 minutes when the person's whole world has been turned on its ear.
7. Too many POVs: At least 5 POVs.
8. The writing was just adequate.
All that said, it was interesting enough to make me want to finish it. I'm a fairly harsh critic, and others may not have the same issues as I did. On the other hand, my aunt (we often read the same books) is about 75% less critical than I, and when we discussed the book, she felt the same way. Though she'd have probably have given it a 3!

Excellent for your book club
This was an fabulous story about the intricate tangled relationships that evolve when 2 brothers, with very different temperaments, marry after WWII and their young families grow up in a two family house in Brooklyn.The brothers also own a family business. This book provided my book club with hours of great discussion. There was so much to ponder. We all highly recommend it.
The only downside to me was that the narrators voice was a bit grating. It didn't ruin the story!

I'd give it a 3.5 star actually
Not bad, but not a great book.
I give it 3.5 stars. Not a full 4 for a few reasons.
I think it is pretty obvious that you know right away what is going on so there really is no big secret reveal at the end. It was actually quite anticlimatic
The one character just becomes so unlikeable that it made it hard to enjoy the story when they were that character's chapter.
The narrator did a very good job.
