Everyone is eager to learn whether the salacious rumors about them are true. Within months, the twins have opened a general store, bought land, and begun building a plantation. Now, word has it, theyre looking for wives-and in a place that thrives on gossip and legacy, their ambitions set the community on edge.Sarah and Adelaide Yates, daughters of a once-prominent local family brought low by scandal, are drawn into their orbit. Bold, beautiful Adelaide sees in the twins fame a chance to reclaim her future. Sarah, quiet and observant, isnt so sure. When the twins lives become entangled with theirs, they must navigate loyalty, longing, and identity in a world where everything-including race, class, and gender-is rigidly defined.Spanning five decades and unfolding against the backdrop of a fractured nation hurtling toward war, The Foursome is both intimate and epic: a story of love and constraint, identity and reinvention. With piercing insight and emotional precision, Kline brings to life a forgotten chapter of American history and the complex, boundary-defying marriages at its center.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51607643619616,"sku":"NEW0063097990","price":27.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81KKJEPHSsL.jpg?v=1778697484","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-foursome-a-novel-0063097990","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
