The story centers around various residents of Pleasant Street and the dynamic changes they face, particularly with the opening of a new shop that stirs both excitement and apprehension within the established neighborhood. The opening chapters introduce key characters, such as Norah Pennington, a young woman determined to bring a fresh and welcoming business to the area, as well as the notable community residents who may resist or embrace these changes. The opening of the book sets the stage for a neighborhood in transition, highlighting the contrasting views of the established residents of the Terrace and the newcomers on Pleasant Street. As a drug store is proposed and ultimately transformed into a shop for notions run by Norah and her partner Marion, the initial excitement is juxtaposed with skepticism from the old guard of the neighborhood. The narrative delves into the lives of characters like the curious James Mandeville and the rigid Mrs. Millard, illustrating their relationships and reactions to the encroaching changes, ultimately suggesting themes of community, adaptation, and the tension between tradition and progress.
