I didn't enjoy this one as much as Colwin's other novels I've read; the wit is sparkling as usual, but all the sexual harassment gets to be rather a bit much. (

The 80s by Laurie Colwin: all sexual harassment and anxiety disorders and so much class envy. She writes a nice sentence, and Janey and Edie's snarky banter is charming, but otherwise, ugh. I enjoyed the bits of vintage publishing detail -- apparently Bembo used to be hard to get -- but Jane Louise's neuroses felt like a weight I wanted to get out from under. (

I tried my best, I made it to page 197 and then I just couldn't take it any longer. (

A couple, no longer young and both coming from unstable childhoods, find themselves married and contemplating parenthood. Told in Colwin's breezy prose, the novel represents the triumph of optimism and faith over the uncertainties of life. While it breaks no new ground from Colwin's early novels, it's a pleasant story with likable characters and wise observations. (
