Felicia è una studentessa diciannovenne di una famiglia dell’India occidentale e di Edgar, un pigro e impulsivo erede di una ricca famiglia tedesca. I due si incontrano per caso quando le loro madri malate sono ricoverate nella stessa stanza d’ospedale. Dopo la morte della madre di Felicia e la guarigione di quella di Edgar, Felicia abbandona gli studi e trova lavoro come badante per la madre di Edgar e diventa, infine, l’amante di Edgar. Il loro inconsueto rapporto è condito da fraintendimenti, incomprensioni e rappresaglie per offese percepite o reali. Più di un decennio dopo, il figlio di Felicia è un adolescente ossessionato dalle tecniche “fai-soldi-in-fretta” che sono da una parte comiche dall’altra indicative della paura degli immigrati di precipitare in povertà. Army e Felicia affittano una casa bifamiliare da Oliver, un divorziato con due figli dell’età di Army, e così inizia la storia della seconda “famiglia per caso” del romanzo. Edgar entra nuovamente nelle loro vite nel momento sbagliato e introduce il fattore determinante che porterà a una svolta inaspettata.
