The action takes place in South Africa under the white regime. Mary Turner, an independent woman, becomes trapped in an unsatisfying marriage with a mediocre farmer. Routine and isolation on the farm wear her down; the arrival of Moses, a black servant, generates a tension of attraction and rejection that exposes the racial conflict.

For readers of literary and contemporary fiction interested in novels of social criticism and psychological depth.
