Book Description
It was a situation from which half-hour television comedies are made. MARCIA--in tonight's episode, Marcia Green's warm and winning and wise and wonderful Jewish family reminds her that she is thirty-five, divorced, and childless. That's Marcia on her close relations. True, she's one of the best speechwriters around in the tough world of New York's smoke-filled rooms, but her family wants something else for her. No, not that Irish person she's living with. Another doctor, or at least a dentist. But Marcia claims she's happy, getting plenty of the two things that exhilarate her most: sex and politics. She's not looking for commitment, and certainly not looking for a wealthy, Harvard-educated man-about-town who is every mother's dream. Yet as wise mothers everywhere are fond of saying: you never know.

ANNOTATION

Reissued to coincide with Isaacs' Magic Hour. What kind of well-bred young woman divorces a doctor and goes to work in politics? And why would she live with an Irishman who will probably leave and never come back? Marcia Green isn't looking for commitment or a nice Jewish lawyer who is every mother's dream. Yet, as mothers everywhere say, you never know.
