About This Book

A shy young woman marries into a household shaped by social expectation and neighborhood gossip, and her adjustment is tested by domestic tensions, especially with a domineering mother-in-law. The plot unfolds through public scenes, private letters, surprises and quarrels that lead to departures, returns and reconciliations, while financial concerns and decisions about property complicate personal feelings. Episodes follow the couple’s early struggles, attempts to adapt to life at an estate called Blombo, and various schemes and resolutions pursued by family members, concluding with the consequences of those choices and a brief reflective postscript.
