This book tells the story of Lady Monteith, the daughter of a wealthy Welsh landowner, and her marriage to the Earl of Monteith, a spendthrift and wastrel. The author uses the marriage to explore the broader historical context of the decline of the Highland clans and the rise of a new, moneyed class. Through the characters of Lady Monteith and her husband, the author examines the clash and conciliation between tradition and modernity and the effects of personal morality on the performance of public duty.
