Summaries and Reviews
Summary
Lucy Spenser, the Miss Lonelyhearts of a chic counter-cultural magazine, finds her unflappable Vermont life completely upended by her teenaged soap-opera-star niece, Nicole, and her hangers-on
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âA master chronicler of our life and times.ââNewsday
Â
âA very funny book. . . . If Jane Austen had been crossed with Oscar Wilde and re-crossed with the early Evelyn Waugh, and the result plonked down among the semi-beautiful people of the late 20th-century media-fringe America . . . the outcome might have been something like this.ââMargaret Atwood
Â
âFerociously funny.ââThe Los Angeles Times
Â
âBeattieâs new novel, her third, is a gratifying surprise. Love Always will be welcomed by the large and loyal Beattie readership, but there is much that recommends it to the previously unconverted.ââHarperâs Bazaar
Â
âBeattieâs most comicâindeed her first satiricâwork to date. . . . Much of the bookâs authenticity derives from the accretion of felt detailâa Beattie trademark. She captures 1984 Vermont with right-on references to Cyndi Lauper, Horchow catalogues, and âpre-Cabbage Patchâ Coleco.ââThe Christian Science Monitor
