The story revolves around Lady William, a woman of genteel birth but meager means, and her daughter, Mab, who contend with their social status and place in a quaint village community where social distinctions run deep. The book explores themes of class, personal identity, and societal expectations, particularly as they relate to family and connection. The opening of the novel introduces the charming village of Watcham, where Lady William and Mab live in modest circumstances despite Lady William's noble connections. Lady William's social status, stemming from her marriage into the aristocracy, complicates her interactions with the local gentry, who regard her past as a governess with unspoken animosity. As she navigates her life in the village, the dynamics shift with the return of the prominent Swinford family, which stirs a mix of nostalgia and apprehension in Lady William. This sets the stage for potential social upheaval and personal conflict, as Lady William grapples with her own past while trying to ensure a brighter future for her daughter Mab, whose plainness starkly contrasts with the expectations of beauty and grace in their society.
