"No one is immune from the imperfections, dark secrets, and daily foibles of a close-knit community where everybody’s business is everybody’s business.
A cynical nun, a jaded priest, a Polish aristocrat, a cuckolded policeman, an over-the-hill womanizer, an alcoholic, and a sado-masochist are just some of the characters in this novel set in a fifties housing project outside of Buffalo, New York."
