Denis, a young poet unsure of himself and in love with Anne, takes the slow train to Crome, a country house full of guests. There he listens to theories of everything: an artist, a prophet of a rationalised future, a host compiling a family history, a hostess dabbling in the occult, while summer drifts by and Denis never quite manages to speak his heart.
