This Side of Married by Rachel Pastan is witty, intelligent, and utterly delicious.
The Rubin daughters are three eligible sisters from an affluent suburban Philadelphia family whose well-meaning but domineering mother is single-mindedly determined to see them all happily married.
The book opens at a Sunday brunch where Dr. Rubin, mother and obstetrician, is scheming to introduce her eldest daughter, Alice, to a doctor who is almost too good to be true. But why hasnt Alice, who is beautiful and smart (as well as extremely nice), been able to find a husband on her own?
Is her sister Isabel, the real heroine of the story, genuinely happy in her marriage, and, if so, why wont her husband co-operate with her attempts to get pregnant?
And is Tina, the youngest of the sisters, as shallow as she seems, or is she something worse than shallow?
Full of surprises, This Side of Married is filled with feeling,
