Dear Librarian, “Happy families,” Tolstoy famously wrote, “are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Do we truly believe this? Are only dysfunction and tragedy interesting? Or can happiness be quirky, outrageous, deeply challenging? TOLSTOY LIED: A LOVE STORY is a romantic comedy. It’s a novel of ideas— on helium. Tracy Farber is 33, happily single, and headed for tenure at a major university. She also has a secret academic project: to prove that happiness can be interesting, in literature as in life—that Tolstoy might be, must be, wrong. Then she meets George. And love proves far more complicated than she’d imagined. To celebrate publication, we’re hosting a contest. Tell a true story proving Tolstoy’s maxim right or wrong. (100-200 words please— send to TolstoyLied@RachelKadish.com) Best five entries will receive 5 free copies of Tolstoy Lied, plus a phone call from the author to your book group. For more info and events, see www.RachelKadish.com. Thanks! Rachel Kadish
