About This Book

The narrative follows an English schoolteacher whose engagement to the son of a well-established household provokes a determined and scheming prospective mother-in-law. It chronicles wedding preparations, the bride's uneasy homecoming, escalating domestic rivalries and a runaway episode, then follows the woman's attempts to rebuild a life amid hostility. Interlaced scenes address questions of class and temperament, naming and child-rearing, shifting loyalties among sisters, and the husband's attempts at reconciliation. The plot concludes with gradual adaptations and compromises that reshape domestic roles and produce a reconstructed marriage.
