Unfortunately, these visits do not promote any feeling of cheer in the older woman. Constance, in an effort to make her mother happy, accompanies that woman to seances. Unforgivably, Constance's mother sank into a deep depression after the loss and refuses to come out of it to bring Constance up as she should. The first, Constance Langton's narrative, set in 1889, records the effect on her household of the death of her baby sister, Alma. The novel unfolds in a number of sections. While it is a long time between drinks, so to speak, it appears that Mr Harwood has been devoting his time to achieving the certain perfection to detail which characterises his work.
