The novel is set in a tight-knit, upper class neighborhood in modern day New York City. The neighborhood has beautiful old houses and coveted parking. The people living in the houses are all white, while the people working in the houses are not.
From the outside it is an idyllic neighborhood. However, when a handyman is brutally attacked, cracks begin to appear. So much so, that a seemingly perfectly happy middle-aged couple, Nora and Charlie Nolan, might end up losing their marriage.
Not my favorite Anna Quindlen book, perhaps because it is very much a love story to New York City, a place I've only visited a few times. However, any Anna Quindlen book is worth reading, in my opinion.
