One of the sharpest observers of human behavior around.--Booklist
(starred review)
BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SIRACUSA, coming in
trade paperback on June 6, 2017!
Tracee is a runaway bride and kleptomaniac. Lana's an audacious beauty,
a recovering alcoholic. Rita is a holy-roller minister's wife, desperate
to escape her marriage. One warm summer's night, these three women go on
the lam together. Their car breaks down on a rural highway in North
Carolina and they're forced to seek shelter in a seemingly abandoned
nightclub. Which is where they meet Marcel. And soon everything changes.
Marcel, you see, is a lion.
Written with the deftness, humor, and sparkling wit that mark her books,
plays, and movies, Delia Ephron's The Lion Is In is an unforgettable
story of friendship, courage, love--and learning to salsa with the king
of the jungle.
