Dependable Plain ( Evergreen ) again deftly explores enduring themes: the v arious social strata of Jewish life; the complexities of family relationshi ps; the consequences of following a deeply felt social conscience. At 36, J ennie Rakowsky is a lawyer specializing in defending the rights of impoveri shed women. She is about to marry Jay Wolfe, a widower with three young chi ldren, partner in a prestigious Manhattan law firm and, like Jennie, commit ted to saving the Green Marsh wildlife sanctuary from unscrupulous develope rs. Jennie's well-ordered life is shattered when the illegitimate daughter she gave up for adoption at birth, now a personable but strong-willed girl of 19 called Jill Miller, appears on Jennie's doorstep. To complicate matte rs, Jill's father also reappears and creates profound misconceptions that f orce Jay and Jennie to cancel their wedding. The author stretches an awkwar d subplot concerning mob-connected real estate developers far too thin, but her mixture of romance, suspense, and deeply felt familial conflicts shoul d leave her fans well entertained.

PLAIN, BELVA HARVEST
Delacorte Press August 1, 1990 0-385-29926-5 / 9780385299268 1st Edition Hardcover Ex-Library
With the rich threads of Evergreen , The Golden Cup and Tapestry , skillful storyteller Plain continues to weave her eventful saga of the Werners and their extended clan as they reaffirm their Jewish heritage during the storm y 1960s. Dark, sensitive Iris, daughter of the glowing, russet-haired Anna (by urbane banker Paul Werner--unbeknownst to Iris) is married to wealthy, improvident Dr. Theo Stern, whose European glamour excites other women. Iri s's jealousy goads her to play at her own romance with a sinister partner. Her four children are growing up, but rebel Steve balks at his bar mitzvah, already anticipating the anarchist/bomb expert he will be at college, radi calized by cynical professor Tim Powers, whom he doesn't know is his distan t cousin. When Paul's wife dies and his mistress leaves to fulfill her miss ion as a doctor in Israel, Paul hovers protectively over Iris's troubled fa mily. A violent quarrel between Iris and Theo erupts into near tragedy, and Paul takes action. Plain's prose is never better than workmanlike, but the narrative moves quickly as her doughty characters surmount their alloted s hare of adversity.

Plain, Belva Promises
Dell May 1, 1997 0-440-21687-7 / 9780440216872 Paperback Very Good
Family values and feminism make an uneasy marriage in this undisguised mora lity play about adultery. Fifteen years ago, Margaret Crane gave up the dre am of medical school to devote herself to her husband, Adam, an engineer. B eautiful, loyal, savvy in bed, cheerful in pregnancy and tirelessly sensiti ve in motherhood, Margaret now unknowingly loses her husband to the crude a nd grasping Randi Bunting, who enjoyed an intense affair with Adam back in college and has appeared in their small Midwestern town. Meanwhile, Margare t's beloved cousin Nina falls for another married man. Margaret's moralizin g provokes a schism between the two women. If Plain (The Carousel) had shap ed the cousins' conflict as a loving one between sense and sensibility, wit h each sister learning from the other, this novel might have come to life. But only Nina has to grow?into the realization that every act of adultery h as a victim, the betrayed spouse. Margaret remains unchanged by the tumultu ous events in the story, including a death; she comes off not as a human be ing but as a collection of unshakable beliefs. Still, Plain conveys well th e hurt and bewilderment of the three Crane children. And she understands, a nd makes palpable, those times when the illusion of control collapses.
