The Story
The Inhabitants of Francine Prose's peaceable kingdom are getting the surprises of their lives. The things they thought they'd wanted -- marriages and children, travel, work -- even the compromises they imagined they'd made, no longer sustain them. Nothing is dependable in this world where weddings and birthday parties go unpredictably awry, strangers blurt out disturbing confessions, and even family pets reveal themselves to be agents of discord and disruption.
