Rating this a little higher than the plot warrants because the writing flowed so nicely. Written in 1964, everyone smokes (even a very pregnant woman), wives serve coffee, tea, highballs, and cookies to visitors, the women wear dresses and then men consider slacks and a sports jacket or golf sweater "casual attire." It's dated, but it's also fascinating to consider how much American customs have changed in just over 50 years.
