The eccentric and adventurous Christina Goering meets the anxious, but equally determined Mrs. Copperfield at a party. Two serious ladies, passionately wanting to get out of their shell, go in search of themselves: Mrs. Copperfield - with her husband to Panama, where she finds solace among women from public houses, and Miss Goering meets new men. The two ladies meet again. Transformed by the experience, they are no longer those dissatisfied with the neat life of a representative of high society. Who are they? Anarchic, profound and very funny, Two Serious Ladies is a story that cannot be put into any box. Many people know Jane Bowles as the wife of Paul Bowles, a recognized classic of twentieth-century American literature. However, Jane is an unrecognized genius. Although her works are few in number, Jane Bowles is rightfully considered one of the best writers of her generation. Her prose is razor-sharp, funny, and extremely smart. It reflects that elusive state of a woman who lives “neatly”, hiding in a shell, and passionately wants to get out of her comfort zone, even if outside it can be dangerous.
