Resumen
Meet Sophie Applebaum - as enchanting a heroine as Jane in The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing. Sophie is an outsider and an inventor of rules, simply because she does not fit into any neat description of who she might be: shes Jewish, but lacks religious feeling; a book-lover but a mediocre student; a loyal friend often unpleasantly surprised and a less-than-devoted employee. She falls in love precipitously but isnt sure whom she should marry - or if she wants to marry at all despite all the family pressures and social clamour on this subject. We follow the life cycle of her family, and we follow her to school, through college, to her first job with terrible typing skills, through to the realisation that work isnt fulfilment, that your parents arent quite what you thought and that Mr. Right is sometimes only all right...Readers who loved The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing wont be disappointed; this is a sparkling, heartfelt, deeply explorative book characterized, as always, by Melissa Banks light touch, signature humour, and her vast talent for capturing a moment, taking it to heart, and giving it back to her readers.
