Elinor Lipman — Every Tom, Dick & Harry

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 and 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.PURCHASE BOOK HERE: https://politics-prose.com/book/9780063322257?ic_referral=WVBdeoZI1o0-ZDZgaespp139mPKOwF6NPxzKZcx0SCEwMyDM_TW4aBPxiaWh35BgECrdxTcTSHn5XEGw5kbW7tEltYqAEXk-8jQGcZd3bd1fMh0YZ2FbYehOL-dOc4IxU-_MlgElinor Lipman is the award-winning author of sixteen 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.
