Women of Harvard Square

A is for Agnes.A is for Adrianna.A is for Abigal. A is for The Women of Harvard Square whose stories emerge and engage the readers of this collection of short stories.These women, the three A’s and their friends, are scientists, scholars, writers—serious professionals with entangled lives and loves. They get into plenty of scrapes and escapades, not to mention intrigues, before they hop out of bed the next morning to do some DNA sequencing, write another best seller, or consider the artistry of Michelangelo. Vivid and vivacious they are. I was fascinated; I had fun. I felt like moving in next door. But later I found myself thinking about these gals—maybe there’s more there. Not many books make me do that. A big ‘yes’ for Michael Lieberman. I look forward to his next book. Dare I hope it’s the 'Houstiliad' hinted at in the final chapter of this one?
