Pot Luck by Emile Zola. Or Pot-Bouille for those who prefer the tile in the native language. Actually, apparently some of the sexual undertones of the title are lost in translation. A 'pot-bouille' is much more an apt description of the happenings in the French building that is the setting for the story. I am only about a hundred pages in, but the story is good so far. I still haven't been able to suss out who, if any, of these folks are genuine and nice. I will keep you posted.......
