"The Hunting Wives" represents Texas as a land of deep contradictions and social absurdities. Set in the fictional wealthy town of Maple Brook, it follows Sophie O'Neil, who has moved with her family from Cambridge, Massachusetts. While her husband, Graham, works for a prominent oil company, Sophie struggles to adapt to the lavish lifestyles of the local elite, characterized by a mix of philanthropy, severe political leanings, and strange social practices. The depiction of wealthy housewives reveals a community defined by surface charm coupled with underlying hypocrisy and unusual behaviors related to gun culture and social dynamics.
"Sophie and Graham hail from Cambridge, Massachusetts ('Where Harvard is,' they add sheepishly) and struggle to cope with their new surroundings in Maple Brook, Texas."
"Maple Brook is run by wealthy housewives who donate six figures to the local megachurch and conduct lavish NRA fundraisers at their mansions."
