SYNOPSIS
In this early novel by the legendary Paul Monette, Rita, an exhausted and neurotic woman, takes time away from her life to visit her old gay friend Peter and his lover, Nick, at their grand mansion in Bel Air. What she didn't count on was her friends' emotional baggage, not to mention the suspicious tales of a buried treasure underneath the house.
As Rita, Nick, and Peter get closer to unraveling the mystery of the buried treasure, they also begin to learn more about themselves and each other. The novel explores the ways in which money and time can distort relationships, but it also shows how the ties between friends can endure—and even grow stronger—no matter what the distance or history.
In the end, Rita, Nick, and Peter may not find the treasure they were looking for, but they do find something even more valuable: friendship, love, and self-acceptance.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Paul Monette wrote the National Book Award winning Becoming A Man: Half A Life Story; Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir; Halfway Home, and Love Alone: 18 Elegies for Rog. He died in 1995 of AIDS-related complications.
