Synopsis

It?s 1968, and Frannie and Doris, sisters and spinsters, are finally freed from family ties and constraints when their father dies. Taking off in their Plymouth Valiant they hit the road on a journey through the changing cultural landscape of America - civil rights marches, the assasinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. Frannie longs to return to the safety of her former reclusive life, but Doris just wants to raise hell and get laid. A touching, lyrical, and superbly crafted mid-life coming-of-age tale that was short-listed for the 1996 Orange Prize.
