As the First World War approaches, Foreshaw Park remains in the hands of the once-wealthy Thorman family but no longer possesses the income required to sustain its position. Agnes Thorman, the elder daughter, forms an attachment to Robert Bradley, a hired worker whose ability and ambition challenge the boundaries of the estate.

Their relationship becomes entangled with the family’s financial decline and competing expectations about inheritance. War accelerates changes already under way, forcing the Thormans and Bradleys to decide whether property and status deserve greater loyalty than the people whose labour has kept them alive.

This book has also been published under the title The Moth.
