The Ladies' Man

Summary: Another wonderfully observed delight from Elinor Lipman
Review: What I've loved about Elinor Lipman's work is that her stories are so breezy, engaging and entertaining, you almost don't realize just how well-written they happen to be. Lipman has an incredibly keen ear for dialogue and a keen eye for social interactions. She finds gems of humor and poignance in the recognizable-- yet her well-drawn characters defy sterotype in their complexities. To say this is a book about three older single sisters who live together would be a huge disservice to the relatable, always interesting and seriously involving tale she once again weaves. Like candy that happens to be good for you, this book was a satisfying delight.
