The portable Veblen

"A young couple on the brink of marriage--the charming Veblen and her fianc? Paul, a brilliant neurologist--find their engagement in danger of collapse. Along the way they weather everything from each other's dysfunctional families, to the attentions of a seductive pharmaceutical heiress, to an intimate t?te-?-t?te with a very charismatic squirrel."--Provided by publisher.
