Evelyn hates the terrible degradations of her upper-middle-class origins. Seeking the wealth and power that her rich neighbor Winny enjoys, she vows to rise above her sub-owner status and tries to enlist poor Sonny to team up with her on her quest. But Sonny balks.
Eventually, Evelyn marries Winny and achieves her goal, and poor Sonny becomes a lowly newspaper reporter.
Fast forward to a time when, coming to the end of his career, Sonny accidentally shoots Winny in the head. Charged with attempted murder, he’s rescued by rich Evelyn who, in her merrily remorseful deposition (which is the framework for this novel), she entertains the presiding judge – a good friend and loyal underling – with the story of the exonerating factors that lead up to the shooting, thereby ensuring Sonny a light sentence.
Manufactured Blurbs from Fictional Characters I Admire:
It lacks, for better or worse, the temperate oft-vaunted subtlety of my creator’s animosity to the horrors of rank and privilege.
- Emma Woodhouse
Rumpbustious! [sic]
- Falstaff
Thoughtful books bore me. Even The Custom of the Country, which is about me, bores me everywhere the focus is not on me.
- Undine Spragg
Another day, another pig in human shape who delights in horrifying the other animals on Animal Farm with the nasty truth about how nasty we are until she gets what she wants, which is self-justification for her own nastiness.
- Benjamin the Donkey
