Victor Greenwood is Master of the Hunt. He is a strapping, handsome fellow, quick tempered and absent-minded, possessed by his passion for his hounds - until he meets Joanna, not in tweeds or corduroy, but glamorous in her silks and furs, up from town for the Hunt Ball. It is love at first sight for them both. and then marriage. Gifted with a rich capacity for living Joanna tries to throw herself whole-heartedly into his country life. Then there follows a deeply human, moving and dramatic story of the struggle between two people deeply in love, but sharply different in character.
