More about the book

The peculiar residence of Mr. Peter Pett stands out as a striking architectural anomaly on Riverside Drive, blending elements of a cathedral, suburban villa, hotel, and Chinese pagoda. Its stained glass windows and grotesque terra-cotta lions make it unforgettable, reflecting Mrs. Pett's desire for prominence. Inside, Mr. Pett roams the lavish yet stifling interior, feeling out of place and frustrated, embodying the tension between his wealth and the chaos of his surroundings, particularly on a serene Sunday morning.
