About the Book

When Harriet Mahoney first saw it, Isabel Krug's bed was covered in sheared sheep and littered with celebrity biographies. The unpublished, fortyish, and recently jilted Harriet had fled wintry Manhattan in response to a mysterious ad in the New York Review of Books: "Book in progress? Why not share my Cape Cod retreat? Roomy and peaceful--your life will be your own." In a room with a view atop a Truro dune, Harriet starts on a different path to fulfillment by ghostwriting The Isabel Krug Story, based on the sexy blonde's tabloid past--specifically, a nasty night in Greenwich, Connecticut, when Guy Van Vleet died and Isabel lived to tell about it. Unusually talented in the man department, Isabel revamps and inspires Harriet as they gear up to tell all. Life according to Isabel is a soap-opera extravaganza, an experience to be swallowed whole--and the attitude is catching.

About the Author :
Elinor Lipman is the award-winning author of sixteen books of fiction and nonfiction. Her first novel, Then She Found Me, became a 2008 feature film, directed by and starring Helen Hunt, with Bette Midler, Colin Firth, and Matthew Broderick. She was the 2011-12 Elizabeth Drew Professor of Creative Writing at Smith College. Grace Conlin (1962-1997) was the recording name of Grainne Cassidy, an award-winning actress and acclaimed narrator. She was a member of the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC, and won a Helen Hayes Award in 1988 for her role in Woolly Mammoth's production of Savage in Limbo.

Review :
"Isabel's Bed gives us the intricate and deft plot, crisp dialogue and unexpected twists and turns we have come to expect in the comic novels of Elinor Lipman." -- "Amazon.com, editorial review" "A delightful, gentle, knowing satire of writers, the publishing and entertainment industries, the art world, and the vagaries of love." -- "Booklist" "A marvelous, quirky novel that makes you want to read it straight through without looking up." -- "Boston Globe" "A warm, affecting tale about one smart woman letting go of her dumb choices and fumbling toward love." -- "People" "By about page ten of this novel, the reader gets a...grin on his face, and that grin doesn't really stop for about a week." -- "Washington Post Book World" "Delightful...Engaging...The perfect companion...After a short while, these characters become more vivid than one's own friends." -- "San Francisco Chronicle" "If Jane Austen had been born about two centuries later...chances are she'd have written like Elinor Lipman...One of the last of the urbane romantics." -- "Chicago Tribune" "Lipman has written another winner...full of zany twists." -- "Library Journal" "Ms. Lipman takes on the question of how women and men, in and out of love and jail, should treat each other. In the end, her comic soap opera outsings her dramatic love story...Surely this would be criminal, were we not enjoying ourselves so thoroughly along the way...Isabel's Bed is serious entertainment." -- "New York Times Book Review" "So well paced that you could devour it in one sitting, but so much fun that you'll regret finishing so quickly if you do." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "With her trademark, light comic touch, Lipman unfolds her narrative...The unexpected ending offers a just-right finish to this wry, warm story of about love and those who practice it." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Conlin's silky voice captures Harriet's shy hesitancy, her persistently low self-esteem as well as Isabel's brash, busty blond self-confidence...Outstanding reading." -- "Kliatt"
