Exploring the themes of manipulation and emotional control, the novel features Lucy Entwhistle, a young woman who marries the domineering widower Everard Wemyss. As she settles into life at his mansion, "The Willows," Lucy becomes haunted by the legacy of Wemyss's deceased wife, Vera. The narrative unfolds as Lucy realizes the disturbing dynamics of her marriage, revealing a chilling portrait of a woman's struggle against a narcissistic partner. This stark departure from von Arnim's typically light-hearted works offers a profound commentary on the dangers of naivety in relationships.
