St. Botolphs is a fallen New England river town, and the book opens on its Fourth of July parade, where a firecracker sends the horses bolting with the Woman's Club float still aboard.

Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. Courage tastes of blood.
The Wapshot Chronicle, John Cheever
