The story explores complex family relationships and feminine identity through the characters of Jane Manning and her aunt Dolly. Jane, of a shy and reserved character, is fascinated and disturbed by Dolly, an extravagant and selfish woman who enjoys the pleasures of life and takes advantage of wealthy people. As family circumstances bring them closer, Jane discovers that love can arise even for those we do not like, making that love even more valuable.
