Exploring the complexities of Victorian marriage laws, the narrative follows a woman grappling with the implications of potential bigamy due to outdated legal frameworks in Ireland and Scotland. As the story shifts from a serene country house to the more foreboding suburbs of London, the tension escalates, revealing the darker side of societal norms. Collins' incisive critique of marriage and its legal entanglements offers a thought-provoking commentary on the constraints faced by women in the 19th century.
