The story is set in the decaying village of St. Ronan’s, marked by the presence of a mineral spring that attracts various characters, including the strong-willed innkeeper Meg Dods and the enigmatic traveler Frank Tyrrel. The novel explores themes of social dynamics, character, and the contrast between old and new ways of life within the context of a Scottish watering-place. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the picturesque yet deteriorating village of St. Ronan's, where the old inn, run by the cantankerous but beloved Meg Dods, stands in stark contrast to the rising popularity of a newly built hotel nearby. As the village faces neglect and changes due to this influx of fashionable society, we meet Frank Tyrrel, a returning traveler with a mysterious connection to the area. He soon finds himself entangled in the local dynamics, interacting with Meg and reflecting on his past, particularly concerning the significance of his relationships and the nostalgia tied to the landscape around him. The opening chapters set the tone for a rich exploration of character interactions and societal commentary, underscored by humor and a sense of impending drama.
