Carolyn Smith is too funny to fit squarely into the "romance" segment of the publishing world.

There, you might have a hearty lunch, catch up, wind down, play bridge---or sit in silence with nothing but your newspaper and a heavenly cup of espresso, pulled with love and consummate attention to detail.
