EW's GRADE
B+

Details Writer: Susan Isaacs; Genre: Fiction; Publisher: Harper Paperbacks

Susan Isaacs' seventh beach-blankety novel, Lily White, interweaves two narratives: a mystery involving Long Island criminal defense lawyer Lee White and the earlier story of her life as Lily White, daughter of the social-climbing Weissbergs. With her dissection of Long Island class conflict and social aspirations, the author delivers a witty, wicked satire. B+
