<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Classic Susan Isaacs, Close Relations shows the enormously popular, perennial New York Times bestselling author of Compromising Positions at her sexy and satiric best. A novel that acerbically blends sex, politics, and family craziness, Close Relations is a hilarious testament to the well-established fact that "Isaacs delivers witty, wicked satire from beginning to end" (Entertainment Weekly)and "writes wonderful books, loaded with wit, crammed with memorable characters" (Los Angeles Times).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES </em>BESTSELLER</strong></p><p><strong>The <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of <em>Compromising Positions </em>returns at her sexy and satiric best, with a novel that blends sex, politics, and family craziness</strong></p><p>Marcia Green is a sophisticated, witty, successful New Yorker, a whiz of a political speech writer, a woman who finds a smoke-filled room more intoxicating than a magnum of champagne. Her private life is a little less bubbly. She has a passionate but not very promising live-in relationship with her boss's dashing chief of staff, Jerry Morrissey. He offers her only a good time--but what a time!</p><p>Can Marcia resist when a new man arrives on the scene, a man who is exactly the sort her family wants her to marry--bright, kind, attractive, wealthy, and charming--in short, too good to be real? Marcia is determined to find the right kind of man, as well as the right kind of life.</p><p>Compelling and entertaining, <em>Close Relations</em> is about the things that are vital to all of us, about men and women, about sex, money, work, family values and about what we need most in today's world--close relations.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>It was a situation from which half-hour television comedies are made. <em>Marcia!</em> In tonight's episode, Marcia Green's warm and winning and wise and wonderful Jewish family reminds her that she is thirty-five, divorced, and childless. </p><p>That's Marcia on her close relations. True, she's one of the best speechwriters around in the tough world of New York's smoke-filled rooms, but her family wants something else for her. No, not that Irish person she's living with. Another doctor, or at least a dentist. </p><p>But Marcia claims she's happy, getting plenty of the two things that exhilarate her most: sex and politics. She's not looking for commitment, and certainly not looking for a wealthy Harvard-educated man-about-town who is every mother's dream. Yet as wise mothers everywhere are fond of saying: <em>you never know</em>. </p>
