Synopsis

The entire action of this highly charged
novel happens in the space of one day at
the substantial home of a prominent
United States senator. It is morning and
the senator's wife is in the kitchen
discussing arrangements for a dinner
party with the cook and butler. The guests
will be two senior officials from the
administration, the senator's son and
daughter who are home from college, and
the wealthy and influential parents of the
senator's wife.
It all sounds like a well-ordered and
gracious affair, but as events unfold, the
reader is battered from all sides by one
startling revelation after another. There
are things to be settled at this dinner party
- some are political and ethical, some are
emotional, and some are questions of life
and death. At the end of the book the
reader will have been exposed to many of
the fundamental issues and problems that
are racking our society.
