...nursing resentments and his ragged individualism. His sole and meager support comes from his wife Roseanna, an Alcoholics Anonymous member who nearly drank herself to death for typically Rothian reasons: "because of all that had not happened and because of all that had." Chief among them were Sabbath's neglect and his affair with Drenka Balich, the lusty wife of the local Croatian innkeeper...
