When the American nobility goes bankrupt, the most disenfranchised turn out to be the most disenfranchised — an orphan, a poor spinster, and women with a difficult fate. In the hypocritical society of a southern town where women's freedom is suppressed, cruelty is covered up with Bible verses, and intrigues are woven over a silver coffee pot at meetings of ladies' clubs and public surveillance is not dormant, they unite to embark on a witty and extremely unorthodox enterprise that can turn into disaster or success. This is a tragic and funny story full of satire and narrative, a large-scale and colorful portrait of Southern American society at a crucial historical moment.
