The story is set in the village of Bridetown and revolves around the lives of workers at the local spinning mill following the death of its owner, Henry Ironsyde. The main characters include the Ironsyde brothers, Daniel and Raymond, who find themselves at odds in the wake of their father's will, which leaves Raymond without any inheritance, prompting themes of class struggle, familial obligation, and personal ambition. The opening of the novel begins with a funeral for Henry Ironsyde, drawing the attention of the local community, as many wear black in mourning. Readers are introduced to various townspeople, including workers from the mill who speculate about the future of their jobs under the new management. At the center of these discussions is Raymond Ironsyde, who has chosen not to attend the funeral due to being cut from his father’s will, presenting a complicated relationship with his brother Daniel, who now holds the responsibility of running the mill. The narrative captures rich details of rural village life while setting the stage for the unfolding drama between the brothers and their separate paths in both work and personal life.
