Frankie and Johnnie

By Meyer Levin

For the first time in eBook format, a beloved classic from the most significant American Jewish writer of the 20th century, award-winning author Meyer Levin.

He’s never felt this way before…

Johnnie didn’t plan on falling for Frankie—she was too young, too naïve, and his best friend’s sister to boot. But the moment he saw her, Johnnie knew Frankie was the only girl for him.

Frankie used to think all boys were the same, wild and reckless. But sweet, sincere Johnnie is proving himself to be different. As they spend more time together, their feelings grow deeper—is this real love or just a youthful fling?

Set amid the bustle of 1920s Chicago, Frankie & Johnnie is an emotionally charged story of first love, second chances, and the bittersweet journey to adulthood.

Meyer Levin

Meyer Levin (1905-1981) was called by the Los Angeles Times "the most significant American Jewish writer of his times." Norman Mailer referred to him as "one of the best American writers working in the realistic tradition." Throughout his 60 years of professional work, Levin was a constant innovator, reinventing himself and stretching his literary style with remarkable versatility. When he died, he left behind an extraordinary, diverse body of work that not only reflected the incredible life he led, but chronicled the development of Jewish history and culture in the 20th century.
