At the Woman’s Saturday Club, Mrs. Dodge wonders aloud why the ordinary lives of women like herself, which have no central drama at all, should not be the subject of a book. Tarkington takes her at her word, moving from house to house along a well-to-do street to follow mothers, daughters, neighbours and their bewildered husbands through small crises and comedies.
