This book is a sequel to Six of One.

Many of the characters reappear and some of those who have died are at least mentioned. That more than a decade has elapsed by the time Bingo takes place allows for the introduction of new characters and situations that would not have fit into Nicole's Six of One. The fact that Nicole has mellowed and settled down in Runnymede allows for a closer exploration of the community and its inhabitants. But the town retains its tolerant, self-contained identity, and the same major characters remain at the novel's core. And like Six of One, it too bears a thematic relationship to Rubyfruit Jungle.
