Cyril Beardsall narrates the lives of his circle in the valley of Nethermere: his sister Lettie, clever and restless; George Saxton, a handsome young farmer drawn to her; and Leslie Tempest, the mine-owner’s son who offers her security. Woods, mill-pond and changing seasons frame a story of attraction, hesitation and the different roads they take.
