After losing their money and being forced to abandon their lovely seaside home in Connecticut, they move to the all-black Southern town of Ephesus. Patriarch P. Q. (which might stand for Peculiar) is a dreamer whose failed attempts at various schemes have landed the Bishops in a squalid shack that never stays warm and collects soot like a dustbin. And Mrs. Bishop is having an impossible time adjusting to their less than aristocratic conditions. But adolescent daughters Irene, Urie, and the zany Loco Poco—with their eccentric personalities and clothes made from tablecloths—won’t let anything stop them from taking on the world.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/i\u003e meets \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e, Daphne Athas’s award-winning novel has been hailed by critics and named one of the best books of the year by \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. \u003ci\u003eEntering Ephesus\u003c\/i\u003e is a glorious and unforgettable story of life during the Great Depression through the eyes of three young, vivacious women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108142006512,"sku":"9781497633247","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497633247_p0.jpg?v=1763703524","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497633247","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
