This is the second book about the title characters. smoothly flowing read about likeable folks. 69 yo Jewish widower, Mr. Horowitz and sixty-something, black physical therapist and widow Mrs. Washington.
If you need a story that is about real people doing real activities and having real conversations, read this book. I'm off to find the first book in the series, Horowitz and Mrs. Washington.

First intro was a bit rough and I wasn't sure I was going to finish it. However, it was such a quaint story with real life thrown in that I ending up really loving it. Horowitz and his grumpy attitude only wants the best and doesn't know how to protray that. Mrs. Washington the busy body. I loved were she tricks Mona into talking quietly so Mrs. W can convince her to come to the wedding. Also that fact that the judge was in on it "napping" next door. The ending was also great were Horowitz was setting up Mrs. W with his vaudeville buddy Wesley.

Good read upbeat and showed older people (of which I am one) in a positive light.

I thought this was a good book. It was a gentle read. It reminded me of The Mitford series by Jan Karon. I enjoyed it. Mr. Horowitz is an irascible character with a loving and caring heart. A romance between elders is always nice. Mrs. Washington is the perfect meddler. A good story. Will look for the other books in this series.

In which Mrs. Washington decides that Horowitz is depressed and needs two things a new interest in life, and a new wife! Perhaps a little more predictable than the first book, but fun to read about old friends.

Mrs. Washington & Horowitz Too, Henry Denker, RDC-M, #3-93, 11/12. Mrs. W thinks Mr. H. is depressed after his stroke and decides to get him to volunteer in the nursery at the hospital to give him a feeling of worth. Good.

Sweet story of changes and love coming to a widowed senior citizen in New York.

[Deb · Rating 3 out of 5]

This sequel suffered from the length of time (15 years) between the books. New York is not as much of a character in the 90s as it was in the 70s. Horowitz is still a hoot, though.
