Lament for Four Virgins by Lael Tucker. 1st edition 1952. H/C with jacket. 368 pp.

The daughters of four leading families challenge the social code that hems then in.

The story of a Southern town and of four lively young women who pursued love, defied convention and waged persistent war against the matriarchs who dominated the town's society. Through the years each girl's quest for fulfilment became subtly interwoven with the life of the town. Comedy and drama mingled in the restless passage of their lives.
