Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st ed. A fine, unread copy in dust jacket. An Anita Servi title "Anita Servi's social work position, serving the elderly for St. John the Divine, has disappeared. So she's eager to begin her new job at Neighbors Aiding Neighbors (NAN) in the subsidized housing of Monument Estates, just south of Harlem and full of the elderly. On her first day, however, she discovers the body of the woman who hired her, a suicide ostensibly because she was despondent over her inability to conceive a child. The method used was one outlined in a well-known guide to suicide that many of the elders served by NAN had read and studied. Similar suicides follow thick and fast, and Anita puzzles out their relationship to each other only slowly. The rich personalities of the elders here, as well as Anita's own family--her cabinetmaker spouse and their nine-year-old, Clea, still not quite adopted--match the rich New York ambience, from Mama Joy's Deli to the Vermont Christmas tree sellers who set up on Broadway each December. This one's a bit more ruminative than the previous titles in the series but no less absorbing and city focused."--Booklist.
