Lady Tasker misses her change at Camden Town on the way to Hampstead, and the novel follows her into a circle of earnest, advanced young people, their periodicals, debates and causes. At its centre is the marriage of Amory, whose romantic certainties collide with suffrage arguments, newspaper polemics and the practical business of living with another person.
