Furman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Kentucky mountains and revolves around the arrival of a group of intriguing women who shake up the lives of the local residents. The main character, Aunt Ailsie Pridemore, is particularly captivated by the newcomers and their unfamiliar ways, which challenge the traditions and norms of her community.  At the start of the narrative, Aunt Ailsie hears gossip about these "quare women" from her family and neighbors, who describe them as peculiar but friendly. Filled with curiosity, she longs to learn more about them. As she witnesses the women's activities, such as cooking and sewing, she becomes enchanted with their vibrant personalities and new ideas. The opening introduces hints of underlying tensions within the community, particularly between Aunt Ailsie's grandson Fult and his rival Darcy Kent, as the novel explores themes of tradition, change, and the potential for harmony in a region marked by feuds and animosities.
