Book Reviews of The Ladies' Man
Book Review: "The Ladies' Man" is a hilarious romp.
Summary: 5 Stars
Elinor Lipman's "The Ladies' Man" is so funny and yet so true to human nature that it is doubly pleasurable. It is the story of Harvey Nash or Nash Harvey (he likes to change the order of his name), a man so addicted to flirting that it is almost a reflex action. He leaves a trail of broken hearts wherever he goes. Nash has a romantic history with Adele Dobbin, who now works as an on-air fundraiser for a public television station in Boston. Adele has a bunch of hilarious siblings who have an unbreakable habit of interfering with one another's lives. Throughout most of the book, Lipman shows Nash and the Dobbin siblings stumbling through different entanglements, romantic and otherwise, as they try to make some sense out of their lives. At times poignant, at other times sardonic and satirical, "The Ladies' Man" is a delicious comedy of manners for the modern reader.
