En savoir plus sur le livre
Belle Cantrell grapples with guilt after killing her husband, a feeling she despises. A lady shouldn't act in ways that lead to remorse, a rule she holds dear. Set in 1920, during prohibition and the fight for women's suffrage, this tale unfolds in Gentry, Louisiana, where Belle, a beautiful young widow with a rebellious spirit, faces societal constraints. After being jailed for swimming in an indecent costume with suffragists, she realizes life as an unmarried woman is fraught with challenges. Though she knows the rules of propriety, Belle often finds herself bending or breaking them because they all seem to say "Don't." After mourning for a year and a half, she decides it's time to embrace life, igniting a tumultuous season that will alter her and her town forever. With a blend of humor and memorable characters, this story is a comic love tale that also explores Belle's quest for her moral compass as she confronts forces threatening her community and loved ones.
