<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Rachel Klein is sacked from her job at the White House after she sends an email criticizing Donald Trump. As she is escorted off the premises she is hit by a speeding car, driven by what the press will discreetly call "a personal friend of the President." Does that explain the flowers, the get-well wishes at a press briefing, the hush money offered by a lawyer at her hospital bedside? Rachel's recovery is soothed by comically doting parents, matchmaking room-mates, a new job as aide to a journalist whose books aim to defame the President, and unexpected love at the local wine store. But secrets leak, and Rachel's new-found happiness has to make room for more than a little chaos. Will she bring down the President? Or will he manage to do that all by himself? Rachel to the Rescue is a mischievous political satire, with a delightful cast of characters, from one of America's funniest novelists."--Page 4 of cover<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Rachel Klein is sacked from her job at the White House after she sends an email criticising Donald Trump.

[Her] writing is brisk and intelligent, and if the plot of this novel is zanier than her usual fare, that too may show just how plugged-in she is to out farfetched times." --<i>Wall Street Journal</i> on <i>Good Riddance</i><br><br>"A clever romantic comedy from a pro . . . The rollicking plot ultimately leads to romance, revealing this witty story's warm and fuzzy heart."<b></b>--<i>People</i> on <i>Good Riddance</i><br><br>"A new Elinor Lipman novel is always a cause for celebration. And her newest will not disappoint: the story of 32-year-old Faith Frankel, who returns to her suburban hometown, where she takes a job as a professional thank you note writer for her alma mater and buys a charming bungalow home. Little does she know, the house might contain some secrets. <i>On Turpentine Lane</i><b> </b>is another pitch-perfect, delightful romantic comedy from the beloved author of <i>The Inn at Lake Devine</i>."<b></b>--PopSugar, "Out Favorite Books of the Year" on <i>On Turpentine Lane</i><br><br>"An enchanting, infinitely witty yet serious, exceptionally intelligent, wholly original, and Austen-like stylist" --<i>Washington Post</i><br><br>"Lipman is the easiest writer to read, but she stays with you because she's such a good writer...A true pleasure...[She] is such a fine stylist...[<i>Good Riddance</i>] is hilarious, [with] wonderful romantic elements [and] a witty line on every page, in every paragraph."<b></b>--Bill Goldstein, NBC's "Bill's Books" on <i>Good Riddance</i> <br><br><br>"When there's already too much darkness in the world and a cheering respite is in order, we can all be glad for Elinor Lipman's <i>On Turpentine Lane</i>, a romantic comedy with just enough sly wit to keep it from turning sugary...We can trust that like her foremothers Jane Austen and Laurie Colwin, Lipman will find a way to make the world right for her heroine. Would that she could do so for the rest of us!"<i><b></b>--O, The Oprah Magazine </i>on <i>On Turpentine Lane</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Elinor Lipman</b> was born in Massachusetts and is the author of more than a dozen novels.
