The novel follows the life of Edith Lyle, who faces numerous hardships, including the death of her husband, Abelard, during a tragic accident that also involves the Schuyler family. As the narrative unfolds, themes of love, loss, and social class come into play, particularly focusing on the relationships between Edith, her ambitious mother, and the influential Schuyler family. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the Schuyler family's return to their ancestral home in Hampstead, igniting excitement within the local community. It describes a tragic accident where a young carpenter, Abelard Lyle, sacrifices his life to save young Godfrey Schuyler, setting off a sequence of events that intertwines the lives of the characters. Through the perspective of Esther, a village schoolmistress, we learn about the changes confronting the community and the complexity of familial and societal expectations that shape Edith's experiences.
