Iris Chapel and her five elegant sisters, all of them heiresses to the Chapel firearms fortune, live cloistered in a lavish Victorian mansion. Neglected by both their distant father and troubled mother - who believes their home is haunted by the victims of Chapel weapons - the sisters long to escape the eerie fairy tale of their childhood. For young women in 1950s Connecticut, the only way out is marriage. Yet it soon becomes clear that for the Chapel sisters, marriage equals death.
As soon as the eldest girl walks down the aisle, tragedy strikes and the bride dies mysteriously the very next day. But this is just the beginning of a chain of tragedies that will make each sister wonder whether true love will kill her, too. Only Iris escapes - but can she outrun the family curse forever? A riveting, deliciously twisted feminist tale about the legacy of male power and the cost of female freedom.
