Narrated by the observant but somewhat detached Mary Smith, who frequently visits the town, the novel details the lives of a community of genteel spinsters and widows. The residents, often referred to as "Amazons" due to the scarcity of men, adhere to strict social rules and a practice of "elegant economy" to maintain appearances despite limited financial means.
