Folgen Sie Wanda, der toughen Radikalen in den 30ern, ihrer Tochter Scarlet, die unverheiratet, schwanger und verängstigt ist, sowie Scarlets Freunden – geborene Opfer, Snobs und obsessive Liebhaber – in ihren absurden, alptraumhaften und oft urkomisch schrecklichen Beziehungen.
Kitty Maule longs to be "totally unreasonable, totally unfair, very demanding, and very beautiful." She is instead clever, reticent, self-possessed, and striking. For years. Kitty has been tactfully courting her colleague Maurice Bishop, a detached, elegant English professor. Now, running out of patience, Kitty's amorous pursuit takes her from rancorous academic committee rooms and lecture halls to French cathedrals and Parisian rooming houses, from sittings with her dress-making grandmother to seances with a grandmotherly psychic. Touching, funny, and stylistically breathtaking, Providence is a brightly polished gem of romantic comedy.
