  • ""Catherine Oliphant is a writer and lives with handsome anthropologist Tom Mallow. Their relationship runs into trouble when he begins a romance with student Deirdre Swann, so Catherine turns her attention to the reclusive anthropologist Alaric Lydgate, who has a fondness for wearing African masks. Added to this love triangle are the activities of Deirdre's fellow students and their attempts to win the competition for a research grant. The course of true love or academia never did run smooth."-- Publisher description."
  • "This classic novel holds the mirror up to human nature and the battle between the sexes as it explores the love lives of a group of anthropologists Catherine Oliphant writes for women & rsquo;s magazines and lives comfortably with anthropologist Tom Mallow & mdash;although she & rsquo;s starting to wonder if they & rsquo;ll ever get married. Then Tom drops his bombshell: He & rsquo;s leaving her for nineteen-year-old student Deirdre Swan. Though stunned by Tom & rsquo;s betrayal, Catherine quickly becomes fascinated by another anthropologist, Alaric Lydgate, a reclusive eccentric recently returned from Africa. As Catherine starts to weigh her options she gradually realizes who she is and what she really wants. With its lively cast of characters, Less Than Angels is an incisive social satire that opens a window onto the insular world of academia. It & rsquo;s also a poignant and playful riff on the messy mating habits of humans and the traits that separate us from our anthropological forebears & mdash;far fewer than we may imagine."@en
