The Affairs of Others
The Affairs of Others
Five years after her young husband's death, Celia Cassill has moved from one Brooklyn neighbourhood to another, but she's not moved on. The owner of a small apartment building, she asks first and foremost that her tenants respect one another's privacy. She believes in boundaries, solitude, that she has a right to her ghosts. Everything changes with the arrival of a new tenant, a dazzling woman of a certain age on the run from her husband's recent betrayal. The carefully constructed walls of Celia's world are soon tested and the very sanctity of her building is shattered-through violence and sex in turns tender and dark. Celia and her tenants are forced to abandon their separate spaces for a far more intimate one, leading to a surprising conclusion, and the promise of genuine joy.
