From the award-winning author of “Ms. Demeanor” comes a charming, laugh-out-loud tale of love and criminality, a pitch-perfect romantic comedy.

This event, hosted in a private home, will include luncheon and a copy of Lipman’s book.

About the Book
Taking over her parents’ estate-sale business is not the life’s work that Emma Lewis bargained for. Yes, she grew up helping them empty people’s nests, but nothing prepared her for her biggest and stickiest “get”—the grand, beautiful house of ill repute masquerading as a decidedly beddable B&B. Should Emma turn down potential clients in need of decluttering just because they are shady, escort-y, and proud of it? No. A girl must make a living. Around some hairpin turns, Lipman ingeniously reveals a straight shot to happiness.
Featuring a dynamic cast of characters — from a mild-mannered, recently widowed former algebra teacher to a crooked cop who’s been run out of town only to make a scandalous return — Lipman tops herself yet again with “Every Tom, Dick & Harry,” which has all of the lively charm, humor and biting social satire that we’ve come to expect from her — and more. Add the cherry on top, a straight-shooting chief of police who just might be her best, most delightful romantic hero yet, and the result is a brilliant reminder that there’s a reason Lipman has been called a modern-day Jane Austen.
About the Author
Lipman is an acclaimed author known for her sharp wit, engaging characters, and incisive social satire. She is the author of 16 books books of fiction and nonfiction, including “The Inn at Lake Devine,” “Isabel’s Bed,” “I Can’t Complain: (All Too) Personal Essays,” “On Turpentine Lane,” “Rachel to the Rescue” and “Ms. Demeanor,” a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor, which The New York Times Book Review praised as “a joyride” with “charm and clever high jinks [and] a potent dose of wry social commentary … as much a clap back to sexism as a celebration of guiltless pleasure.”
