Set against the backdrop of 1920s London, the narrative explores the contrasting lives of two young women: Cecilia, a capricious widow facing a passionless second marriage, and her independent sister-in-law Emmeline, who grapples with her unexpected attraction to the predatory Mark Linkwater. As Emmeline navigates the complexities of love and misunderstanding, her vulnerability culminates in a tragic act. Elizabeth Bowen intricately examines the obscure motives behind human behavior and the emotional divide between genders.
