The story introduces a young man named Dan who embarks on a journey through rural England in search of adventure and self-discovery. As he travels in a caravan, he encounters various characters, including the mysterious gipsy woman Mother Jericho, who predicts that he will find joy symbolically coming up through the “Gates of Dawn.” The narrative promises elements of romance and intrigue, revealing Dan’s interactions with the enchanting Meg Merle, the doctor's daughter, who captivates him from the moment they meet. The opening of the book sets a picturesque scene, beginning with Dan's leisurely travel across moorland, marked by stunning natural beauty and a sense of isolation. He soon meets Mother Jericho, who insists on foretelling his future, which piques his curiosity about love and destiny. Despite dismissing her predictions, particularly those relating to a potential romance with two women, he finds himself intrigued when he catches a glimpse of Meg Merle, who embodies the very joy he seeks. As the narrative unfolds, Dan's journey is not just physical but also emotional, with hints of personal transformation as he navigates the complexities of attraction and the relationships he forms in this enigmatic village.
