His mission is to defeat 'the barbarians, ' introduce true civilization in place of its thin veneer, and change his Southern world for the better. Although Laney is adored by his students (his 'darlings') and by the society ladies (also his 'darlings'), who rely on him to be the life of their parties and the leader of their book clubs, there are others who think he is a larger-than-life menace to the comfortable status quo of Mountain Brook society -- and must be banished" -- Amazon.com. | |
