Elsie’s son Edward Travilla comforts his young wife Zoe after the family has gone away without them, and the book follows the wider clan of Elsie’s relations through homecomings, illness and a doctor’s care, losses and reunions, among them a little girl’s joy at her papa’s first kiss in a year. Its Southern domestic world reflects the outlook of the 1880s.
