There's always something
simmering beneath the quaint and placid
surface of small-town New England lives -- and
that includes the usual maladies of alcoholism,
rape, and suicide. At least this is the case
in this small town.The tale chronicles the miserable
lives of Arthur Winner, Julius Penrose, and
Noah Tuttle -- legal counseling partners in a law firm
that could probably use some good counseling themselves.
Arthur's wife Clarissa has nothing but contempt for
poor Arthur because she considers their marriage as more
a business deal than a love match. Then there's Julius's
wife Marjorie who has become a full-time alcoholic ever
since Julius has been rendered impotent by an automobile
accident. Arthur and Marjorie's frustrations both
gel into an illicit romantic union. Arthur certainly needs
some kind of diversion since his son Warren refuses to follow
in his father's footsteps by becoming a lawyer. As if that
weren't enough, he also refuses to marry Helen Detweiller,
the girl Arthur wants him to marry because she is rolling
in money and is also the ward of Noah. Instead, Warren
runs off with the local town whore, who accuses Warren of raping
her. Despondent, Helen resorts to desperate measures when
she is rejected, and Arthur realizes that he must begin to
reconsider his life choices.
