About This Book

An urbane psychiatrist balances professional encounters and personal acquaintances as a series of patients and friends bring complicated domestic and emotional problems to his office. A mute young man, a worried guardian and other visitors reveal tensions of duty, social standing, and romantic miscommunication. Interwoven episodes around a weekend invitation, a missed meeting and small-town expectations examine how sympathy, pride, and secrecy shape personal relationships.
