简介:Twenty-nine year old Caucasian Elgar Enders still lives at the estate of his parents, William and Joyce Enders, and off their vast wealth with their blessing, although his ultra-conservative father hopes that some day Elgar will have some drive and make a name for himself, much as he believes his eldest son, William Jr., has done. Elgar decides finally to move out, and buys a tenement house in Park Slope, Brooklyn, a rough neighborhood seemingly on the verge of gentrification. He plans to tear it down and build a new house for himself. Although they have no idea of his plans, the tenants of the building, exclusively black, do not welcome their young, lily-white new landlord with open arms. They believe he is just another slum white landlord who wants their money, although most of them are indeed several months behind in their rent. Despite their antagonistic beginning, Elgar, after spending time with his tenants and learning their stories, decides to be a proper landlord and fix up the building for them and for him to live in. Elgar's transition into liberal minded lover of his black brothers and sisters is not without its problems as he deals with some tenants who are indeed deadbeats, his parents who just don't understand and agree with this phase of his life, and race relations where the color of one's skin does affect how they are treated in life and in turn how they interact with others. The latter is epitomized by his relationships with Lanie, a biracial woman who he initially believed was white, and with husband and wife tenants Copee and Fanny to who he gets a little too close月色中一对恋人来(😅)到湖边夜游,但两人却双双失踪,前来(👓)调查的女(🌫)主(zhǔ )人公和一名当地男子意外发现此处原(yuán )来(😆)是(shì )一秘密实验基地,实验变种食人(rén )鱼且这些食(⛸)人鱼(yú )更危险(🚘)、聪明。但两人不慎(🗽)将全部食(shí )人鱼饵放入(📠)河道,附近的度假营地危在旦(🕰)夕……其它的攻击对于精神之圈,没什么用?只有被(🛹)毒液喷到的地方,会冒起黑烟。刘姑娘知道那些隐瞒不住了,不过还有一些她没写出(chū )来的,说(🌸)道:看来你们不怎么混论坛(🚥),把我的笔记拿过来,我给你们说。千星一转头避(bì )开了,退开两步之后,却是从口袋里取出一根皮筋。听到他低(dī )沉磁性(🍟)的声音,艾美丽(😿)动作僵了一下,却没有抬起头(🍀)。小姐等下,我(👼)这就打去总(zǒng )裁室——前台小姐说话时,已(yǐ )经在打电话了。她看(kàn )到这里,也有点相信了。平时来的女人个(gè )顶个的刁蛮,见人七(qī )分傲,身份地位更是大肆宣扬,今天来这么个低调的(de ),没准还真有(yǒ(😿)u )点来头。傅城予(yǔ(🗝) )忍不住(😹)笑出了声,贺靖忱(🈵)(chén )则只能无奈摇头叹息。张春桃还要照顾家(jiā )里,就没(méi )和(👧)张秀娥一起去。
