Query: This is my least favorite Lipman book.

It is hard to believe this was written by Elinor Lipman. There is something sinister - or mean-spirited about it. It portrays women as silly and desperate...I had a difficult time liking any of the characters, I didn't know what to wish for. I definitely DO NOT recommend it. Try any other Lipman book instead.
