Every Tom, Dick & Harry
by Elinor Lipman
BARGAIN
From the author of Ms. Demeanor – one of the most beloved comedic writers of our time – comes a charming, laugh-out-loud tale of love and criminality, a pitch-perfect romantic comedy.
“Over the course of more than thirty years and at least fifteen books, Elinor Lipman has been creating a singularly delightful and instantly recognizable literary universe. Lipmanland is a world adjacent to our own except the people there are more charming, the conversations are wittier, and love always prevails. Every Tom, Dick & Harry, weaves together estate sales, good and bad cops, and – get this – smalltown houses of ill-repute with effortless glee. Add sparkling dialogue, an improbably hilarious funeral, and one of the author’s most endearing love stories and you have the Lipman Literary Landscape at its irresistible best. When events are too much to handle in the real world, there are few better breaks than entering this one. Passport optional.” – Stephen McCauley #ad
