The story revolves around a central character, Anthony Kay, who is encouraged by his friend, Doctor Kennaway, to write a novel while staying at a watering-place called Haréville. The character encounters various interesting individuals, including a novelist named James Rudd, who is struggling to find inspiration while trying to create a story about the lives and characters at Haréville. The narrative explores themes of unfulfilled potential and the nature of artistry as these characters navigate their personal lives in the context of their creative aspirations. At the start of the book, the protagonist reflects on the monotony and limited entertainment options of a spa town, particularly as a blind man. Following his arrival, he meets James Rudd, who expresses frustration at his inability to write, leading to a conversation about the potential inspiration from the local residents. Anthony becomes involved in discussions that border on the philosophical regarding a beautiful, elusive woman named Miss Brandon, who is being considered as a character for Rudd's new novel. As the characters engage in introspective dialogues about love, artistry, and the interplay of dreams and reality, the groundwork is laid for an exploration of how these themes may manifest throughout their intertwined lives during a seemingly dull summer in Haréville.
