"Elinor Lipman has been creating a singularly delightful and instantly recognizable literary universe. Lipmanland is a world adjacent to our own except the people there are more charming, the conversations are wittier, and love always prevails. Every Tom, Dick & Harry, weaves together estate sales, good and bad cops, and smalltown houses of ill-repute with effortless glee. Add sparkling dialogue, an improbably hilarious funeral, and one of the author's most endearing love stories and you have the Lipman Literary Landscape at its irresistible best. When events are too much to handle in the real world, there are few better breaks than entering this one. Passport optional." - Stephen McCauley, author of My Ex-Life and You Only Call When You're in Trouble.
"If you're a fan of Lipman, you're going to love it. And, if you're new to her, you're in luck: Her 14 other comic novels are all terrific." - Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Enter a delightful small town of the kind only Elinor Lipman can deliver." - BookBub, "Most Anticipated"
"Lipman's fans and newcomers alike will be tickled." - Publishers Weekly
"In the delightfully reassuring rom-com tradition of Nora Ephron, the perennially mood-lifting Lipman is equally revered for her lovable characters, spitfire wit, and happily-ever-after romantic escapades." - Booklist
"Lipman is known for her comic touch (her first book, Then She Found Me, became a 2008 movie starring Helen Hunt and Colin Firth). Here a woman takes over her parents' estate sale business and ends up with some controversial clients who run what appears to be a B&B but is actually something quite a bit naughtier." - AARP Magazine, A "Winter's Best Book to Get You Through the Chilly Season"
"An estate-sale manager in a small Massachusetts town stumbles on its worst-kept secret....charming" - Kirkus Reviews
