Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Schine has a delicious sense of humor....She has given us delightfully quirky characters who deserve a permanent place in the pantheon of comic creations." --The New York Times "Cathleen Schine is a modern-day Jewish Jane Austen. She has written an elegantly comic novel." --People "Who else but Cathleen Schine can graft a delicate comedy of manners onto a slapstick farce with such unerring poise and wit? A novel that manages to be this funny is an achievement; one that also possesses grace and depth is a rare bird indeed." --Chicago Tribune "A very modern comedy that skewers family life with heart and wit." --New York magazine "Funny...joyful...wonderful." --The New York Times Book Review

Reseña del editor:

Newlywed Alice, Cathleen Schine's unforgettable heroine of "Alice in Bed", appears to have the perfect life. The one fly in the ointment is her mother's detestable boyfriend, Louie Scifo: champion of incredibly bad taste and a bona fide stalker. After Alice's mother cuts him loose, Louie's determination to win back her love casts Alice's whole family into disarray. So Alice embarks on a mission to rid her mother of Louie once and for all, in this rambunctious comedy of manners that is at once 'dizzying, hilarious, authentic, and original'.
