Raktažodžiai:
Will Rachel Klein bring down the President? Or will he manage to do that all by himself?

Rachel Klein is sacked from her job at the White House after she sends an email criticizing Donald Trump. As she is escorted off the premises she is hit by a speeding car, driven by what the press will discreetly call "a personal friend of the President." Does that explain the flowers, the get-well wishes at a press briefing, the hush money offered by a lawyer at her hospital bedside? Rachel&;s recovery is soothed by comically doting parents, matchmaking room-mates, a new job as aide to a journalist whose books aim to defame the President, and unexpected love at the local wine store. But secrets leak, and Rachel&;s new-found happiness has to make room for more than a little chaos. Will she bring down the President? Or will he manage to do that all by himself? Rachel to the Rescue is a mischievous political satire, with a delightful cast of characters, from one of America&;s funniest novelists.

Recenzijos

'A sweet, daffy comedy' - Slate, 'The Trump book that could only be published abroad' - Stacy Schiff, 'A deft and funny book. As usual with Elinor Lipman's characters, I can see it all so clearly on screen. Brava, sister!' - Maureen Lipman, A charming love story and a witty, perceptive social satire. Its a treat - Nicholas Clee, BookBrunch, 'Effortlessly plausible.. a masterwork of wit, comic timing and plot. Lipman's sentences fizz with the energy of Updike' - Yorkshire Times, 'A witty and mischievous comic novel [ and] a bitingly funny satire on US politics in the age of Trump. Definitely a book of the moment' - The Shelf of Unread Books

Elinor Lipman was born in Massachusetts and is the author of more than a dozen novels.
