| This novel is about a fictional settlement of Runnymede, whose memorable citizens are welcoming both the end of the Great War and the beginning of a new era. Set against the backdrop of America emerging from World War I, this novel provides an entertaining look at a small town straddling the Mason Dixon line, where the townsfolk remain split between good and bad, or love and sex, or male and female, or politics and sobriety, and the inimitable, irrepressible, distinctly free-thinking Hunsenmier sisters, Louise and Julia otherwise known as Wheezie and Jutz--and their wide circle of equally indelible friends. An outrageous, affecting, and surprising story of passion, rivalry, and small town antics only Rita Mae Brown could create. |
