Family Man
Family Man | Elinor Lipman
10 posts | 15 read | 9 to read
A hysterical phone call from Henry Archer's ex-wife and a familiar face in a photograph upend his well-ordered life and bring him back into contact with the child he adored, a short-term stepdaughter from a misbegotten marriage long ago. Henry is a lawyer, an old-fashioned man, gay, successful, lonely. Thalia is now twenty-nine, an actress-hopeful, estranged from her newly widowed eccentric mother--Denise, Henry's ex. Hoping it will lead to better things for her career, Thalia agrees to pose as the girlfriend of a horror-movie luminary who is down on his romantic luck. When Thalia and her complicated social life move into the basement of Henry's Upper West Side townhouse, she finds a champion in her long-lost father, and he finds new life--and maybe even new love--in the commotion.

Megabooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m good! Things are pretty much the same here. The most exciting thing is a bunch of recent home repairs! 😂 How are you? 3y

Listened to this one on audiobook and was throughly entertained. Sweet, light story. Nice change up from the density of non-fiction. Fun summer read.

Penny_LiteraryHoarders I've become a big fan of Lipman! I've listened to two of her books in audio this year. Always delightful and fun! 7y
Megabooks I love Lipman! She's one of my favorite authors. 7y
minkyb Let me hop on the Lipman bandwagon as well! 7y

A comedy of manners set in Manhattan with quirky charcters who are easy to root for. The story is dialogue driven (not my favorite) but the audio was well done and left me smiling. Overall, a nice upbeat story.
