Product Description
Product Description
No one writes like Elinor Lipman; her novels are heart-warming, life-affirming, funny, sharp and wise. And in THE WAY MEN ACT she turns her attention to small-town life, and to trying to fall in love when everyone is watching…
Melinda is a florist. She doesn’t want to be. She never intended to come home to Harrow, Massachusetts and, if she did, she planned to be married with a great job, not single and designing her former classmates’ wedding bouquets. What’s worse, why does she care so much that her sort-of friend Libby has set her sights on a fellow shopkeeper? She doesn’t have a crush on handsome, chivalrous Dennis herself. Does she?

Because I am a male, I tend to shy away from what I call the 'girlfriend' genre of novels, books by women about a group of fictional women, written for a female audience. Truth be known, I would have never bought this book were it not for the fact that good literature is hard, very hard to come by in Japan. Ms. Lipman gave me a pleasant surprise. Her book was a fast, easy read, and presented me with a dashing, clever female character that I not only fell in love with, I probably would have married her if I got the chance. Ms. Lipman has created a work of art, a truly wry and insightful look at being young, single and a bit carefree and sassy in a small town. This book had excellent characterizations, good plot development, fast, enjoyable dialogue, and an unstoppable momentum. I must confess- I LOVED IT! OK, I have learned my lesson. I will never judge a book by its cover ever again.

What happens when three "townies" return to a college town to open trendy stores, is the subject of "The Way Men Act". It's a compelling and humorous look at the miscommunication that occurs between the sexes. Best of all are the discussions of romance between mother and daughter. It's the mother's romance being discussed.

She's a chronic complainer, completely self engrossed, vindictive and adorable. Melinda LeBlanc is my new hero.

light hearted literature to lift the heart!!
Elinor Lipman does not dissappoint. If you like the humour of "Friends", "King of Queens", "Golden Girls", "Different Strokes" etc, you'll LOL on reading this author. Read more
