The year is 1970, and the youth of Europe are in the chaotic, ecstatic throes of the sexual revolution. Dedicated to the cause, its nubile foot soldiers have yet to realize this disturbing truth: between the death of one social order and the birth of another, there exists a state of terrifying purgatory - or, a "pregnant widow." Spending college vacation with his peers in a castle in Italy, Keith Nearing will find the tragicomedy that ensues will change his life forever.
