Book Synopsis
"A woman who is not a fool can have but one reason for associating with a man that is," says Mirabell, the amorous hero of "The Way of the World". His cleverness must overcome his own foolishness as he tries to extricate himself from one affair in order to pursue another.

Trade Review
