But when she reluctantly returns home after her college graduation, she finds that not everything is quite as predictable, or protected, as she had imagined. Her father, the eccentric, puritanical Jack Dunlap, is carrying on stoically after the breakup of his marriage, but he can't stop thinking of Rosita, the family housekeeper he fired almost six months ago. Caroline's little brother, Eliot, is working on a giant papier-mâché diorama of their town—or is he hatching a plan of larger proportions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the real reason for Rosita's departure is revealed, the novel culminates in a series of events that assault the fragile, sheltered, and arguably obsolete world of the Dunlaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening a window into a family's repressed desires and fears, \u003ci\u003eThe Hazards of Good Breeding\u003c\/i\u003e is a startlingly perceptive comedy of manners that heralds a new writer of dazzling talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Selection and a \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e Book of the Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Shattuck\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Women in the Castle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hazards of Good Breeding\u003c\/i\u003e (a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book and finalist for the PEN\/Winship Award), and \u003ci\u003ePerfect Life\u003c\/i\u003e.
