About This Book

A four-act drama concentrates on a rural household whose summer celebration is unsettled by mounting labor unrest and changing loyalties. Returning relatives and visitors reveal private tensions: a young woman experiences spiritual exaltation and domestic disappointment; a brother becomes distant through involvement with workers and new companions; an artist's presence intensifies emotional complications; and a worldly aunt seeks to confront both practical and moral dilemmas. The action moves between intimate interiors and public agitation, examining duty, desire, community divisions, and the friction between personal longing and social change.
