In the Company of Liars
““And why do you think it was so successful?” he asks. “April Showers?”“Oh.” Allison looks over Larry’s head at the shoppers in the grocery store. “I think women readers liked a strong female character. A character with warts, bumps, flaws, just like any other person. Yet, April wasn’t threatening to men, I don’t think. They liked her, too. She was funny. She was feminine.
