The Pursuit of Alice Thrift by Elinor Lipman




 Alice Thrift, M.D. has a great I.Q. and good itentions, however, her social life is non-existent and her ability to read social skills is highly impaired.  When 'Don Juan' enters her life, intent on winning her affections, one wonders if he is sincere or simply a gigilo.  This novel is filled with humour and restrained sympathy for Alice. I lookmforwrd to reading other books by this author.
