Description
This hilarious novel follows the Posner family--two Holocaust survivors and their young son--doing everything they can to avoid one another in Miami in 1972, the site of the Republican and Democratic political conventions, the rise of the counterculture, the Cold War, the desegregation of the old South. This is also the Miami of Gleason, Sinatra, Lansky, and I.B.Singer.

Reviews
'''How Sweet It Is!' plunges its fictional character into the thrilling, dangerous and often absurd world of Miami in the 70s, and as a result the readers get to experience the historical events as if from the inside. It's that rare book that manages to be both intensely informative and huge joy to read.'' -- Lara Vapnyar, author of There Are Jews in My House and Memoirs of a Muse "Review"
