Lipman's books look as if they must be 'guilty pleasure' books, but I swear they're good--Lipman has a singular voice and dry sense of humor. They're in a class of books that is hard to come by--maybe not 'literary fiction' but fun: well-written keen studies of people. Though I and others might argue that they are 'literary fiction'! If only the covers didn't scream 'chick lit'... (

Although Elinor Lipman's books appear on their face to fall into the "chick lit" genre there is real substance to her novels. She also has a great sense of humor. I (

This was a delightful read: a kind of comedy of manners set largely at a vacation resort in Vermont in the 1960s and 70s. Elinor Lipman has a deft hand at mixing together the bitter and the sweet, and the dialogue is often funny without striving too consciously to be quirky banter. The plot never entirely coheres, but the voice of the main character, Natalie, is so engaging that I couldn't bring myself to care too much. A lovely summer read. (

Natalie, named for an aunt killed in the holocaust, becomes mesmerized by The Inn at Lake Devine from which her family is casually discouraged as Jews from trying to make a summer reservation. After she and her parents drop by to check it out she gets a summer camp cabin mate to invite her to share a room there, making connections with that family and with the husband and of the family which owns the inn. 10 years later the course of her life is redirected because of these connections. The story moved along pretty well, the characters were not particularly sympathetic or involving and the subject matter and scenery were either worn out or not of particular interest to me. (

Elinor Lipman waltzes fearlessly though a minefield of identity politics. Anti-Semitism, intermarriage, ethnic cuisine and Anne Frank are some of the unlikely, loaded subjects of this witty romantic comedy. Perhaps the glum rabbis who skewered Philip Roth as a self-hating Jew might enjoy Lipman's wry, understated humor. Her touch is light and breezy, more benign stand-up comedy than meanspirited satire.
