Ladies of the Lounges

Ladies of the Lounges is set in the early 1970s, a time when there indeed was a department store named Holmes in New Orleans which observed the amenities of serving coffee to its early customers. It is the story of one day in the lives of six elderly women whose paths cross simply because all of them happen to be the aficionados of this particular store. Two of them are immigrants, the rest native Southerners, New Orleanians. In the course of that one day their lives change dramatically in ways none of them could have foreseen.
