"Radiant with her hallmark literary wit and charm, Cathleen Schine's sixth novel is an irresistible and seductive comedy of manners about mothers and love. Elizabeth is an ambivalent academic living in New York City with Brett and their young son, Harry. Everyone wants Elizabeth to marry Brett, including Brett, but whenever marriage comes up. the intended bride quickly changes the subject. Then Elizabeth publishes a paper on Madame Bovary that catches the eye of an impetuous movie producer, and her life turns upside down. She heads for Hollywood to write a screenplay called Mrs. B., but once there, the questions of marriage - and adultery - loom even larger on her horizon. Worse, that horizon is frequently obscured by the presence of Elizabeth's adored but inescapable family, especially her mother, Greta, and her grandmother, Lotte - all together again. [CUT TO:] GRETA has nothing against marriage. She's been happy in her life with Tony - until the day she falls asleep on the sofa and wakes up in love with someone else. Now she has to handle not only the unpredictable needs of her daughter and the plaintive demands of her mother but also the insistence of her own desire. [CUT TO:] LOTTE was once a flash dancer in vaudeville. She has little patience with her granddaughter's refusal to marry that nice husband of hers. She has no patience with death. Chic and sly and uncompromisingly egotistical, Lotte reveres marriage and has mourned her late husband for twenty years, but she's not at all ready to join him. She has far too much shopping left to do. Hilarious and heartbreaking, She Is Me is the story of three generations of women intimately bound together for better or for worse." - from the inner front jacket flap.
