Praise for this book
Chicago Tribune If Jane Austen had been born about two centuries later...chances are she'd have written like Elinor Lipman.... One of the last of the urbane romantics.
Carolyn See The Washington Post Book World By about page ten of this novel, the reader gets a...grin on his face, and that grin doesn't really stop for about a week.
San Francisco Chronicle Delightful....Engaging....The perfect companion....After a short while, these characters become more vivid than one's own friends.
People A warm, affecting tale about one smart woman letting go of her dumb choices and fumbling toward love....
