She built her story around six people working for a typical county council. Beneath the lives of the public servants runs the thread of their personal drama. The story tells how a public life affects the private life; and how a man's personal sufferings make him what he is in public. Corruption, intrigue and romance in a Yorkshire setting where country squire whose wife is in a mental hospital becomes attracted to a crusading local schoolmistress.
