Ann Eliza and Evelina Bunner live and work in their dress shop toward the dilapidated end of New York. Their lives are insular, quietly productive but not without small joys. It is such a small joy, a birthday gift of a clock, that sets in motion the events that will become their undoing. The purchase of the clock puts them in social contact with a lonely clockmaker, Herman Ramy, and for all his friendliness, good conversation, and affection, he is not, as they say, what he seems.

Though the characters in Bunner Sisters are at the opposite scale of society as the characters in The Age of Innocence, their sensibilities are no less fragile.
