On Carroway Island, the mail-order catalog is an essential household item. Occasionally, someone even orders from it.
When a delayed shipment leaves the island running short, concern spreads through the community for reasons nobody cares to explain in public. The catalogs serve a second, indispensable purpose in the little buildings behind the housesand supplies are dwindling.
Their eventual arrival should settle the matter. Instead, the handsome new glossy pages introduce a difficulty the publishers plainly failed to consider.
At Pritchett's general store, a possible solution presents itself: commercially manufactured toilet paper. It costs money, however, and persuading thrifty islanders to pay for something they have always obtained free requires delicacy. So does buying it without the neighbors noticing.
As Pritchett and Cora navigate awkward inquiries, carefully worded requests, and deeply held opinions about unnecessary luxuries, Carroway discovers that progress can be surprisingly personal.
Filled with dry wit and affectionate observations of island life, The Unmentionable Convenience is a Carroway Island short story about thrift, dignity, and a household revolution best carried home in a plain paper parcel.
