Soon, the rules of attraction open a new chapter in their lives. Who wants power? Who holds the power?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE VILLAGE WIT follows Richard and Peggy's often humorous and sometimes dark odyssey through village life, love's fall, sexual politics, and that place where memory and modern love-power-passion intersect.
