出版商概要
"And off races the sparkling, crisp, clever, deft, hilarious and deeply affecting new novel by Cathleen Schine, her best yet, "The Three Weissmanns of Westport" . . . Schine's homage [to Jane Austen] has it all: stinging social satire, mordant wit, delicate charm, lilting language and cosseting materialistic detail . . . Schine is clearly a writer who loves to read as much as she loves to write. And it is great fun to play English major with her." --Dominique Browning, "The New York Times Book Review "A geriatric stepfather falls in love with a scheming woman half his age in Schine's "Sense and Sensibility"-flecked and compulsively readable follow-up to "The New Yorkers."

""Schine has been favored in so many ways by the muse of comedy . . . "The Three Weissmanns of Westport" is full of invention, wit, and wisdom that can bear comparison to Austen's own." --"The New York Review of Books
""Schine's real wit playfully probes the lies, self-deceptions, and honorable hearts of her characters." --"The New Yorker
""Schine sets the Austen machinery in perfect forward motion, and then works some lovely modern changes, keeping the pace going at a lively clip . . . Spotting the similarities and differences between the early 19th century and early 21st century stories is good sport, but the greater pleasure comes from Schine's own clever girls and their awkward attempts to find happiness." --"The Boston Globe
""Swap genteel nineteenth-century England for upscale contemporary Connecticut, add two sisters--one impulsive, one practical--and stir with lively doses of romance, domestic discord, sudden setbacks, and sublime surprises, and you get Cathleen Schine's homage to Jane Austen." --"Elle
""No Cathleen Schine book is without wit and sharply observed moments." --"The Wall Street Journal"
