The narrative begins with a wife's funeral and shows how bereavement unsettles a household, provoking religious disputes and social tensions. It follows ministers, missionaries, family members, and servants as differing convictions, romantic entanglements, and jealousies lead to trials, a mysterious disappearance, and later confrontations.
