Like all of Elizabeth Palmer's novels, this is a joy to read. I have now read all her books and am dispirited that I seem to have come to the end of her oeuvre. Are there more books in the pipeline? We can only pray.

An antidote to winter or a good summer read.
31 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
This humorous, entertaining comedy of manners set me off on a search for all of Elizabeth Palmer's novels when I was looking for a break from heavier fare. The dysfunctional relationships which drive her plots are leavened with enough humor and literary allusions to raise Ms. Palmer's writing above the ordinary. Best analogy? A lighter Fay Weldon.
