Catherine Murchison walks home through the frosty streets of an old English town at three in the morning, the start of a long struggle on behalf of her husband James, a doctor haunted by debt and by fear for his wife and children. Drink, gossip and the narrow judgement of the town all stand between the Murchisons and a decent, settled life.
