Summary An aristocratic Wasp, a widower who is one of New York's last white-shoe lawyers, seeks solace in the arms of a Puerto Rican waitress after his only daughter inflicts on him the ultimate indignity. She is marrying an ambitious drone, immune to the refining pleasures of culture and--perhaps hardest to swallow--Jewish. By the author of Wartime Lies.
