The Pursuit of Alice Thrift

The Pursuit of Alice Thrift
- love with a shady, fast-talking salesman
In her newest well-tuned, witty, and altogether wonderful novel, bestselling author Elinor Lipman dares to ask: Can an upper-middle-class doctor find love with a shady, fast-talking salesman?

Meet Alice Thrift, surgical intern in a Boston hospital, high of I.Q. but low in social graces. She doesnâ‚¬t mean to be acerbic, clinical, or blunt, but where was she the day they taught Bedside Manner 101? Into Aliceâ‚¬s workaholic and wallflower life comes Ray Russo, a slick traveling fudge salesman in search of a nose job and well-heeled companionship, but not necessarily in that order. Is he a conman or a sincere suitor? Good guy or bad? Aliceâ‚¬s parents, roommate, and best friend Sylvie are appalled at her choice of mate. Despite her doubts, Alice finds herself walking down the aisle, not so much won over as worn down. Will their marriage last the honeymoon? Only if Aliceâ‚¬s best instincts can triumph over Rayâ‚¬s unsavory ways.
