Description
Lipman tells the tale of the maladroit, socially inept, and very appealing Alice Thrift, an intern in a Boston hospital who hopes to one day perform plastic surgery on the poor and disenfranchised. Her roommate, the hunky and charming Leo Frawley, a nurse in neonatal intensive care, does his best to help Alice adapt to the politics of the hospital. His quest is interrupted by his own love life and the entrance of Ray Russo, a man who decides Alice is for him. A traveling fudge salesman, he shows up all the time and somehow gets Alice to do what he wants. The results are as expected--funny, pitch perfect, and utterly charming.
