Title: I love Elinor Lipman but...
Product review: I looked forward to the release of this book so eagerly because I have loved- LOVED- everything else of Lipman's I have read... Ladies' Man, Inn at Lake Devine, Isabel's Bed, etc.But I was so disappointed by this one that I left it on the airplane rather than drag it back home.While it is Lipman's usual collection of eccentric characters with interwoven lives, I felt like nothing HAPPENED in this one. What did Sunny want? What was she after? She was a protagonist without a rudder. And the big revelation at the end is that her mother was slutty? So what? In the end it affected no one at all, apparently.If you have never read Lipman I definitely would start with some of her others. In my opinion, she is usually a much better writer.
