The travails of one Jocelyn Guenevere Marchantière Jones, whose Scarsdale life comes to an abrupt end when her husband goes in search of a bit of "fresh flesh." Soon she is fending for herself in New York City, where finding a clean restroom proves the least of her concerns. By the author of The Ginger Man (1955). "Fans of J.P. Donleavy – and newcomers to his antics – can rejoice at his latest, rich, ribald, and touching creation." –The New York Times Book Review
