Summary: Four young American girls journey from America to England in search of romance and adventure in this exquisite production of Edith Wharton's final book. As the New and Old Worlds clash, the girls find that their passionate desire for romance is not satsified by their marriages, which are riddled with Victorian hypocrisy and the grim realities of responsibility, repression and repetitiveness.
