About this audiobook
In the sprawling suburbs of London, the Madden sisters face the uncertain future of middle-class spinsterhood amidst a rapidly changing society. Marriage is deconstructed not as a romance, but as a gritty economic and social contract fraught with disillusionment. Gissing delivers a biting, satirical look at the "new woman" and the hollow promises of the Jubilee year.
