Fiction.  Per Publishers Weekly review, with which I agree:  "A remarkable dark comedy... the characters are delightfully eccentric, the wit delightfully droll, and the prose simply delightful. But for all its charm, this is a serious book."

YES! A Winner! Marj hits the nail on the head.

It looks worth reading. Amazon seems to list this as historical fiction/women's fiction. It sounds more like a romance to me, but maybe that is what they call fiction that isn't in the class with pulp romances.

Supposedly it is loosely based on Margaret Mead's life. Mead was a big deal when I was in high school. Way back when I bought a bio about Mead. Guess where it is - right, still in my TBR pile.

I was interested because it's a historical fiction book about Margaret Mead.  I was an anthropology major (business minor) at university.
