Hetty Gunn, a capable New England woman, gives her whole heart to Dr. Eben, and her life comes to turn on his every word. The novel follows what such a love demands of her, and the strange course it takes, in the spirit of the sonnet that opens the book: that to give one’s own life up is the truest proof of love.
