Wastralls is a farm in the parish of Tregols, where the little Trevorrick River has cut a steep cleft down to the sands. Its people speak in West Country dialect and live by hard work and harder pride, and the novel turns on a marriage won at any cost and the secrets whispered in every corner of the house.
