Fiction
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 men—some good, some fascinatingly bad—enter from the
wings and the romantic complications mount, This Side of
Married stands unveiled as a novel that’s as heady as
good champagne and as rich as a genuine Sachertorte.
