England, 1643. Parliament is battling the King; the war between the Roundheads and the Cavaliers rages. Puritanical fervour has gripped the nation, and the hot terror of damnation burns black in every shadow. In Manningtree, depleted of men since the wars began, the women are left to their own devices. At the margins of this diminished community are those who are barely tolerated by the affluent villagers - the old, the poor, the unmarried, the sharp-tongued.

A novel of wild women, unbreakable friendships, a madcap road trip, and help found in the least likely places. In 1905 Kansas, ex-dancehall girl and outlaw Ruby Calhoun has settled into a (mostly) quiet and (mostly) lawful life. But out of the blue her past comes hustling into town when her ex-dancehall partner, Pip Quinn, shows up with a grim message and dangerous mission: Cullen Wilder, an old enemy with a long memory, is determined to see them six feet under.

Inghilterra, 1643. Il Parlamento combatte contro il re, la guerra civile infuria, il fervore puritano attanaglia il Paese e il terrore della dannazione brucia dietro ogni ombra. A Manningtree, una cittadina della contea dell’Essex privata dei suoi uomini fin dall’inizio della guerra, le donne sono abbandonate a se stesse; soprattutto alcune di loro, che vivono ai margini della comunità: le anziane, le povere, le non sposate, quelle dalla lingua affilata.
