"Eligible men, especially ones in possession of a good fortune and country club privileges, are scarce. When good-hearted meddler Carol Newman learns that the wealthy Norman Grafstein has lost his wife, she resolves to marry him off to her lonely mother-in-law, May.".
"The novel charts the progress of May's love life as well as those of her two closest friends, the strong-minded former librarian Flo Kliman and the flamboyant Lila Katz. If there weren't confusion enough, Flo's great-niece, Amy, a film student at NYU, suddenly arrives with a camera crew determined to get it all on tape. Will May and Norman eventually find happiness? Will Flo succumb to the charms of the suavely cosmopolitan Mel Shirmer?
Will Amy's movie about them win an Academy Award - or at least a prize at the NYU student film competition?"--BOOK JACKET.
