Description

The Ladies' Man by Elinor Lipman is a witty and engaging romantic comedy that follows Nash Harvey's re-appearance at the doorstep of his former fiancée, Adele. Thirty years after he deserted her on their engagement party, Nash must navigate the complex web of relationships between Adele, her sisters Kathleen and Lois, and himself. Adele's past is marked by a string of failed relationships, including a marriage that ended in divorce, while Lois has harbored a secret crush on Nash. Meanwhile, Kathleen finds herself drawn to Lorenz, the building's doorman who works at her lingerie store. As these characters' lives intersect, Lipman masterfully weaves a tale of love, loss, and redemption. With its sharp dialogue and elegant prose, The Ladies' Man is a superb comic novel that explores the complexities of human relationships with wit and mischief.
