"This moving tale of regret and compromise values a sense of family over lonely career advancement, yet thankfully avoids positing marriage and children as a strong woman's only reprieve from alienation."--Publisher's Weekly.

Review:
A kind of cross between Sense and Sensibility and Little House on the Prairie. Spurned, disillusioned with love, and feeling constrained by rigid social circumstances in late 19th-century Paris, Lydia Fulgate and Charlotte Duret head to the plains of Kansas to stake out independent lives. All is well until, you guessed it, the men show up.
