CARR, JOSEPHINE — The Dewey Decimal System of Love

New York, New American Library. 2003, 1st Pbk Edition. (ISBN: 0451209710) Soft cover. Book, Forget those stereotypes about librarians. With long auburn hair and perfect skin, Ally looks half her age of forty. And even though she's been celibate for fifteen years, she doesn't live a monastic life. Ally enjoys the finer things, like her zippy convertible, ice-cold Martinis, classical music, and her sensuously appointed apartment. However, like any good librarian, Ally is discreet in public--and hides her extravagant nature behind a French twist and sensible clothes. But after last night, even her most proper attire can't hide the signs--the pink cheeks, the extra-poufy hair, the bounce in her step. Forty-year-old librarian Alison Sheffield finds her proper, staid, and quiet life turned upside down when she falls head over heels in love. Near Fine.
