...like Poor Tom in King Lear. Deitch plays him as a controlled crafty-plotter--a fuzzy combination of Puck and an American confidence-man. His dress and manner is stylized motley rather than lunatic tatters. His elegant flourishing makes him swallow the many good jokes he has, and completely twist his character...

The book remorselessly follows Rona's career from infancy (she was a whiz at toilet training, never gave trouble about sucking her thumb, and later got A's in practically everything) up to an affair...
