Over the years, Alison Lurie has earned a devoted readership for her satiric wit and storytelling acumen. With Truth and Consequences, described by the New Yorker as a comedy of adultery with a comedy of academia thrown in, Lurie returns with a modern social satire that recalls the best of David Lodge and Mary McCarthy as well as her own popular university novels The War Between the Tates and Foreign Affairs. BACKCOVER: A wily, shapely tale of love’s labors lost.

-Elle

A wry, insightful, thoroughly enjoyable tale about how men and women choose their demons and their lovers, and the sacrifices they’re willing to make for both.

-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Delightful … Her characters are, as always, wonderfully imperfect.

-The New York Review of Books
