a novel of pastry, guilt, and music
Nathan Seltzer, running a copy shop in the same building where he lives along with his wife, daughter, and parents, struggles to handle the changes coming to his life and his Lower East Side neighborhood in the 1980s, as he is faced with the dilemmas of whether to have an affair with Karoline, a German pastry maker, and whether to sell his store to a chain for an offered half-million dollars.
