nA tale of a womans romantic entanglements with two anthropologists--and the odd mating habits of humans--from the author of Jane and Prudence. n n Catherine Oliphant writes for womens magazines and lives comfortably with anthropologist Tom Mallow--although shes starting to wonder if theyll ever get married. Then Tom drops his bombshell: Hes leaving her for a nineteen-year-old student. n n Though stunned by Toms betrayal, Catherine quickly becomes fascinated by another anthropologist, Alaric Lydgate, a reclusive eccentric recently returned from Africa. As Catherine starts to weigh her options, she must figure out who she is and what she really wants. n n With a lively cast of characters and a witty look at the insular world of academia, this novel from the much-loved author of Excellent Women and other modern classics is filled with poignant, playful observations about the traits that separate us from our anthropological forebears--far fewer than we may imagine. n
