Media Reviews
‘Elinor Lipman is the best writer you’ve never heard of – imagine if Elizabeth Strout wrote romantic comedies. On Turpentine Lane is whimsical but also gently savages the frailties of the human condition‘ – Red magazine, `Elinor Lipman applies her singular brand of warm zaniness to Faith's dilemma... She has taken lessons from our great chroniclers of the quotidian, from Geoffrey Chaucer to Jane Austen. The result provides a light but serious antidote to what ails us all these days' - Washington Post, `Light and tight, On Turpentine Lane is constructed with an almost scary mastery. Not a single thread dangles, not a single character is left without a place. The story folds out and back in as neatly as an origami flower, and Faith recounts it all with a raised eyebrow and plenty of cheek' - New York Times, `With a witty cast of characters and her usual delightful dialogue and insightful observations of human behavior, she captures the complications of modern love' - Publishers Weekly, `Delightful and amusing... reminiscent of madcap romantic comedies of 1940s Hollywood. A highly engaging, charming read' - New York Journal of Books
