A Novel.
"For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo." Shakespeare might have seen his young star-crossed lovers as a tragic pair, but 400 years later Jeanne Ray's Julie and Romeo are light-hearted, funny, and heading for the wrong side of sixty . . .
Julie Roseman, a divorcee, and Romeo Cacciamani, a widower, own rival flower shops in Boston. They don't know what started the family feud generations before, but they have never questioned it. Until the fateful day when these two vital, lonely people see each other across a crowded lobby at a small business owners' seminar and an intense attraction blooms. But the path of true love never did run smooth, and with Romeo's feisty, octogenarian mother and a pack of fierce children coming between them, it looks like Julie and Romeo's tale will not end happily.
Think Montagues and Capulets, think wise and witty and thoroughly modern. 'Julie And Romeo' is a love story for the ages. All ages.
