The Three Weissmanns of Westport: A Novel
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Literature & Fiction

A New York Times Best Seller A New York Times Book Review Editors&apos; Choice Betty Weissmann has just been dumped by her husband of forty-eight years. Exiled from her elegant New York apartment by her husband&apos;s mistress, she and her two middle-aged daughters, Miranda and Annie, regroup in a run-down Westport, Connecticut, beach cottage. In Schine&apos;s playful and devoted homage to Jane Austen&apos;s Sense and Sensibility , the impulsive sister is Miranda, a literary agent entangled in a series of scandals, and the more pragmatic sister is Annie, a library director, who feels compelled to move in and watch over her capricious mother and sister. Schine&apos;s witty, wonderful novel The Three Weissmanns of Westport " is simply full of pleasure : the pleasure of reading, the pleasure of Austen, and the pleasure that the characters so rightly and humorously pursue….An absolute triumph" ( The Cleveland Plain Dealer ).
