On Turpentine Lane | Elinor Lipman | Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt , New York , 2017 | ISBN:9780544808249 | Classification: FicLip | “Light and tight, ‘On Turpentine Lane’ is constructed with an almost scary mastery. Not a single thread dangles, not a single character is left without a place in Faith’s world. The story folds out and back in as neatly as an origami flower, and Faith recounts it all with a raised eyebrow and plenty of cheek. . . . Lipman seems to have the most fun writing ridiculous characters, which may be why the novel’s worst people are so enjoyable . . . A neat bourbon swapped for the usual rom-com grenadine.”
