"Lucien (Lucy) Minor is the resident odd duck in the bucolic hamlet of Bury. Friendless and loveless, young and aimless, Lucy is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for producing brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the Majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as Undermajordomo, Lucy soon discovers the place harbors many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. He also encounters the colorful people of the local village--thieves, madmen, aristocrats, and Klara, a delicate beauty whose love he must compete for with the exceptionally handsome soldier, Adolphus. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder in which every aspect of human behavior is laid bare for our hero to observe" -- provided by publisher.

Unusual submitted by emjane on June 17, 2016, 3:32pm Even months after reading Undermajordomo Minor, I'm still not quite sure how to describe the book or what I thought of it. Reading kind of like a folk tale, but without a driving plot, those who enjoy DeWitt's quirky style will enjoy, but others may be better off starting with his other title "The Sisters Brothers."
