Their childhood friendship grows into a romantic relationship, but it's threatened by John’s lack of ambition. The book, set in Devonshire, shows the hard lives of people living at the time, their love life entanglements, and the struggles they face between duty and romantic happiness, as Timothy Chave, Farmer Chave’s son, vies for Sarah's affection.
