<p><strong>"Poignant and hilarious . . . . Irresistible." </strong>-- <strong><em>Washington Post</em></strong></p><p><strong>One of the most beloved novels from the critically acclaimed novelist Laurie Colwin, <em>Goodbye Without Leaving</em> explores a woman's attempts to reconcile her rock-and-roll past with her significantly more sedate family life as a wife and mother.</strong></p><p>As a bored graduate student, Geraldine Coleshares is plucked from her too-tame existence when she is invited to tour as the only white backup singer for Vernon and Ruby Shakely and the Shakettes. The exciting years she spends as a Shakette are a mixed blessing, however, because when she ultimately submits to a conventional life of marriage and children, she finds herself stuck in bittersweet recollections of life on the road. As she grudgingly searches for a path toward happiness that doesn't involve a Day-Glo neon minidress, readers will be enchanted by Geraldine's attempts to grow up, even though she's already an adult.</p><p>Employing Colwin's usual dry wit and candor, <em>Goodbye Without Leaving</em> is a classic novel from the writer hailed as "ingenious, comic, and spirited" by the <em>Boston Globe</em> and "a writer of originality and vision by the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Laurie Colwin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 03/23/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 256<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b
