More about the book

The peculiar residence of Mr. Peter Pett stands out on Riverside Drive, described as a chaotic blend of architectural styles, including elements of a cathedral and a Chinese pagoda. Its striking features, such as stained glass windows and grotesque terra-cotta lions, make it an undeniable eyesore. Inside, Mr. Pett wanders aimlessly, exuding frustration on a serene Sunday morning, contrasting sharply with the calm of his surroundings. His wife's desire for attention likely influenced their unusual home choice, adding to the tension in his character.
