What is this about?
It is merely an insight into the disturbing – and often fatal – activities of two organisations for “ladies of a certain age”: the Moorgate Guild of Classical Female Elders and the Pimlico League of Educated Ladies (formerly the Victoria Branch of the Penge Institute of Ladies of the Night).
Each chapter consists of a collection of correspondence between the chairpersons of said organisations as they plan future events, reminisce and commiserate about past encounters and attempt to minimise the level of fatality and chaos their meetings seem to result in.
