As the conflicts between parents and children, husband and wife, and friends and lovers intensify, what goes on behind the Cossatis' facade of middle-class respectability gradually comes to light, tearing the family's fragile fabric apart.   An exquisitely crafted portrayal of domestic life, Forbidden Notebook recognizes the universality of human aspirations.…
