Publisher's Synopsis
"The year is 1924 and the place is Chicago's Towertown, home to the city's Bohemian set. The Clam Sisters and all of the residents of their house, Palourde Parlor at 35 E. Chestnut Street, are about to have life as they know it, turned on its head. When one of the Clam Sisters purchases a rare blue spong from an exotic songbird dealer, the aristocratic sisters and their staff find themselves exposed to a flying oddity that will lead them to shed their commonplace and staid way of life, for something altogether bold and daring. Chinese tongs, vaudeville shows, fraudulent spiritualists...St Sukie De la Croix's novel is a humorous historical fantasy that showcases the follies of a mediocre existence"--.
