In 1870, five young and wealthy American women—Nan, Conchita, Ginny, Lizzie, and Mabel—head to London to conquer high society. Young Conchita marries an English lord, Richard, and after a lavish wedding, he invites her friends—Nan, Ginny, Lizzie, and Mabel—to live in London and attend a debutante ball. But life in the Old World proves far from simple: their love of freedom and spirit of innovation are unpopular with the arrogant English. Complex relationships, intrigues, and a struggle for independence in a society where women are only just beginning to assert their rights arise among the characters.

Edith Wharton's progressive novel was in many ways ahead of its time. It explores the intersection of two cultures: American freedom and innovation with the established traditions of British aristocracy. The heroines' lives reveal the clash of cultures, social inequality, and the restrictions society imposed on women of the time. This is a story about growing up, finding oneself and love, in which personal ambitions and societal expectations are intertwined.
