"One of the sharpest observers of human behavior around."âBooklist (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. Lanaâs an audacious beauty, a recovering alcoholic. Rita is a holy-roller ministerâs wife, desperate to escape her marriage. One warm summerâs night, these three women go on the lam together. Their car breaks down on a rural highway in North Carolina and theyâre 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 Ephronâs The Lion Is In is an unforgettable story of friendship, courage, loveâand learning to salsa with the king of the jungle.
