Elinor Lipman

writer

Elinor Lipman, “an Austen-like stylist” (*Washington Post Book World*), is the author of eight previous novels, including *The Inn at Lake Devine* and *My Latest Grievance*, winner of the Paterson Fiction Prize. In 2001 she won the New England Book Award for Fiction. The film *Then She Found Me*, directed by and starring Helen Hunt, is based on her first novel. In her newest screwball comedy, a man reconnects with a long-lost stepdaughter and finds his life turned upside down. In the words of Henry Alford, *The Family Man* is “just the fizzy but heartfelt romp that people need right now.”
