The Pursuit of Alice Thrift
By
Elinor Lipman
This is the third book I've read by Elinor Lipman in a couple of weeks. This was just as engaging as the others. I'm starting to see a pattern in the author's writing. The main character is usually somewhat socially inept and grows through getting to know new and gregarious friends. There is usually an unusual and pretty happy ending, at least a hopeful one. This book had quite a bit of "funny business" but not in horrible taste. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next one waiting in line: The Ladies' Man. I might read something else in between. Then again...
