About this audiobook
The arrival of a sophisticated city family sends shockwaves through a quiet, fiercely traditional New England town. Armed with progressive ideals and a condescending desire to "improve" the locals, the newcomers quickly clash with the stubborn independence of the rural residents. Hilarious misunderstandings and simmering resentments boil over as two vastly different cultures are forced to coexist. Through sharp wit and keen social observation, the narrative exposes the follies of both urban arrogance and provincial obstinacy. It is a delightful, insightful comedy of manners that questions the true measure of community.
