Witty and delicious, this ironic domestic comedy of manners delves into the character and love lives of three eligible sisters from an affluent family whose domineering mother is determined to see them all happily married.
The comedy of domestic manners gets a delightful update in this intoxicating novel that suggests a latter-day "Pride and Prejudice" transplanted to an affluent suburb of Philadelphia. Well-meaning but domineering Dr. Evelyn Rubin has one consuming wish, that her three daughters be happily married. Alice, the eldest, is about to tumble into a speedy engagement. Sensible Isabel is already married, and having second thoughts. Tina, the baby, remains blithely single, though always dreams of a perfect wedding down the line. As various menasome good, some fascinatingly badaenter from the wings and the romantic complications mount, "This Side of Married" stands unveiled as a novel thatas as heady as good champagne and as rich as a genuine Sachertorte.
