Ruth Puttermesser, yearning for a life of the mind (her idol is George Eliot), finds herself mired in the lowest circles of city bureaucracy. Her love life is hopeless. Her fantasies are more influential than wan reality - she takes Hebrew lessons from an uncle who died before she was born; she makes a golem out of the earth of her houseplants. Still, she turns out to be the best mayor New York City has ever elected (with the most unusual campaign manager). Soon enough, though, paradise gained becomes paradise lost, and the impact of getting exactly what you want and then losing it plays itself out in dramatic and surprising fashion.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Puttermesser Papers | Cynthia Ozick | Paperback | 0679777393 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1748224","offer_id":48856086446232,"sku":"1748224","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/817dioX20HL.jpg?v=1775574912","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/puttermesser-papers","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
