New York Times best-selling author Sharyn McCrumb is widely recognized for her incisive wit and deft social awareness. In The PMS Outlaws, McCrumb adds a fresh addition to the chronicles of Elizabeth MacPherson. Other novels in the series include MacPherson's Lament and Missing Susan. Elizabeth, deeply troubled by the death of her husband, has checked into a mental institution for treatment. There, she meets a host of colorful patients, each with their own quirky point of view. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing at her brother Bill's law firm. He has just bought a mansion for himself and his partner, A.P. Hill, to set up their practice in. But A.P. cannot enjoy the new building as she is becoming obsessed with finding two women calling themselves the "PMS Outlaws." McCrumb blends these tales together in a delightful satiric stew using a style some have compared to Jane Austen. Barbara Rosenblat's dynamic narration gives an extra distinction to the flavor of each character.
