Daisy Lennox grows up in a family whose comfortable position is collapsing and becomes involved in the campaign for women’s suffrage. Her political commitment brings her into conflict with expectations about marriage, obedience and the proper conduct of a young woman.
After financial ruin sends the family to the countryside, Daisy enters an engagement that appears to offer stability. The outbreak of the First World War transforms those plans and forces her to reconsider duty, independence and the sacrifices demanded of women both at home and in public life.
