About Books, May 16, 2009

Sandra Harper's "High Tea" is a novel about the owner and staff of a tea room in Los Angeles. Harper first wrote a play about a tea room and then expanded it into a novel. The cast of characters includes Margaret, a Brit, who owns Magpie's Tearoom; Clarissa and Lauren, actresses who make their living as waitresses; Lily, a lesbian who is the chef; and minor characters like Tony, Margaret's gay ex-husband. Read this on a hot summer day.
