Misses Mallett

In the quiet English town of Bishop's Caunton, four unmarried sisters share a house and an unspoken pact: they will live together, comfortably, as the Misses Mallett. Then Francis Sales arrives. Handsome, eligible, and utterly conventional, he threatens to upset the delicate equilibrium these women have built around their spinsterhood, their secrets, and their fierce, complicated love for one another. Three of the sisters fall for him, and the resulting social comedy exposes the loneliness, ambition, and tenderness hidden beneath respectable surfaces. E.H. Young writes with sharp wit and deep compassion about women who refused the conventional path, revealing how revolutionary simply choosing to live differently can be.
