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.
From the Inside Flap
oving 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.
