    About this audiobook

    J.D. Beresford's forgotten classic is an apocalyptic tale rife with social commentary on equality.--A global plague has decimated England's male population and the once-predictable Gosling family is now free to fulfill its long-frustrated desires. When Mr. Gosling leaves his family to pursue his sexual vices, the Gosling daughters, who lack experience and independence, find shelter in a matriarchal commune. However, their new life is threatened by the community elders' views on free love.
