The narrative revolves around Andrew Westwood, who is convicted of murdering Sydney Vane, and the repercussions of this verdict on his family, particularly his young daughter, Jenny. The story explores themes of justice, innocence, and the weight of societal judgment. The beginning of the novel captures the tense atmosphere of Westwood’s trial as the jury pronounces him guilty. The emotions of the courtroom are palpable, reflecting the societal outrage over the murder and Westwood’s imminent execution. Amidst the chaos, the focus shifts to Jenny, the prisoner's daughter, who is traumatized by the circumstances surrounding her father’s conviction. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals Jenny's plight—her struggles in the aftermath of her father's sentencing and the challenges she faces in a world that shuns her due to her father's actions. The opening chapters set a poignant tone, emphasizing themes of familial bonds and the harsh reality of life after a public disgrace, framing the novel as a tragic exploration of innocence lost.
