Set against the backdrop of the South African frontier in the 1860s, the narrative follows the lives of two cousins, Em and Lydia, as they navigate a lonely, Bible-influenced farm. Em is content and nurturing, while Lydia is intellectually restless and beautiful, facing a tragic fate. Their lives are further complicated by a domineering Irishman who affects their stepmother's influence. The story intertwines themes of isolation, gender roles, and social issues, drawing parallels to Schreiner's own experiences advocating for the marginalized.
