Has some of the funniest, wittiest descriptions of characters I've ever encountered in prose. The first third or so is just masterful. Problem is, I thought the main character's concerns were too 'domestic' or dare I use the word, 'bourgeois'. Getting married, living a quite life, being social with middle and upper middle class people, all that stuff. I feel her concerns are too remote for me. So the middle portion of the novel kind of sagged and it was hard to maintain my interest. Thankfully, it did pick up at the later part near the end. I thought it was a good ending.
