It's 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly, older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned, and Lady, whom Fin hasn't seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut to Greenwich Village, smack in the middle of the swinging '60s. He soon learns that Lady—giddy, careless, urgent, and obsessed with being free—is as much his responsibility as he is hers. So begins Fin & Lady , the lively, spirited new novel by Cathleen Schine, the author of the bestselling The Three Weissmanns of Westport . Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the '60s, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War—Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself. From a writer The New York Times has praised as "sparkling, crisp, clever, deft, hilarious, and deeply affecting," Fin & Lady is a comic, romantic love story: the story of a brother and sister who must form their own unconventional family in increasingly unconventional times. "An utterly believable fictional world . . . It may well break your heart with joy." ― O, The Oprah Magazine "[Like] writers before her, from Shakespeare to Jane Austen and Evelyn Waugh, Schine skillfully plays with the conventions and the reader's expectations. . . . A wise and wistful comic novel." ― The New York Times Book Review "An exuberant, tender novel." ― The New Yorker Review: Superb! - What a pleasure my last few days of reading this book have been! It is full of joy, sorrow, love, and all of the emotions in between. Reading of Fin and Lady is time spent well! Review: Great Expectations Fulfilled... - What a wonderful, delicious read! This novel is a treat you don't want to stop enjoying. It is the story of a young boy, Fin, orphaned and sent to live with his wildly unpredictable older sister, Lady. The relationship between the two is the spine of the story, and since both characters are so interesting, the reader us drawn deeply into their lives. (Fin reminded me of a modern-day Pip.) Set mainly in New York inthe 1960's, the book explores the meanings of "family" through the eyes and heart of its protagonist.The ending is a surprise but deeply satisfying. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #325,804 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #1,399 in Fiction Urban Life #1,630 in General Humorous Fiction #1,951 in 20th Century Historical Fiction (Books) | ## Images ![Fin & Lady: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GkWdNwrtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb! *by M***L on April 17, 2026* What a pleasure my last few days of reading this book have been!

The characters are immediately developed and the story moves at a smooth pace. They are actually brother and sister with a large age difference. Their parents have passed away and now Fin is left with only Lady in his young life. He is a sensitive, bright young man who is quite observant. Lady is a beauty trying to dismiss her family wealth, but could not survive her lifestyle without it. Fin and Lady are actually co-dependent, but Lady's magnetism is not just saved for Fin. We understand as the story continues with many of her admirers playing significant roles in their daily lives. Each is as interesting as the next. Fin has his favorite and it is truly a special relationship. The plot changes when Lady flees and truly finds she is able to love. No spoiler alert, but it is an unexpected ending. I loved it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/148423921-fin-and-lady-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/148423921-fin-and-lady-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
