Like the name of the drink, part of this story takes place in the Bronx. Known for being the borough in New York City with the highest crime rates, the Bronx is probably not a place that most people with the luxury of options would choose to live. In the novel, Millie lives in a pretty run-down apartment building in the aforementioned dangerous borough and, despite her ability to take care of other women, struggles to feel safe even behind a dead-bolted door. Enjoy a little taste of the Bronx while devouring this novel. You won't be disappointed.
