What is On Turpentine Lane about?

'Every page was packed with wonders' MARIA SEMPLE At thirty-two, Faith Frankel has returned to her suburban hometown where she works in the fundraising department of her old school, writing thank-you notes to benefactors. Keen to get her life back on track she buys a sweet but dilapidated bungalow on Turpentine Lane. Never mind that her fiancé is currently 'finding himself' while walking across America and too busy to return her texts, that her witless boss has accused her of fraud, or that her father is going through a mid-life crisis that involves painting fake old masters and hooking up with a much younger woman — Faith is looking forward to a peaceful life in her new home. But when a policeman knocks on her door asking to look in the basement she discovers that the history of 10 Turpentine Lane is anything but peaceful. On Turpentine Lane is a madcap comedy from one of America's most acclaimed novelists.. 'A romantic comedy with just enough sly wit to keep it from turning sugary.' O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE 'Light and tight... constructed with an almost scary mastery.' NEW YORK TIMES 'Reminiscent of madcap romantic comedies of 1940s Hollywood' NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS
