Heiresses to the Chapel firearms fortune, Iris Chapel and her five sisters live cloistered in a lavish Victorian mansion. They long to move forward into the modern world, but in 1950s Connecticut, the only way out is through marriage. When the eldest sister walks down the aisle, tragedy strikes, and in this "delightfully eerie" tale (Publishers Weekly), this is just the beginning of a chain of marital disasters. Only one finds a way to escape—but can she outrun the family curse forever?
