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.

Ruby Calhoun has worked hard to outrun her past. Unfortunately, her past runs faster. In 1905 Kansas, Ruby Calhoun has worked very hard to become a respectable woman. Or at least a woman who isn’t actively being chased. The dancehall days are behind her.

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.
