The story follows the life of Lulu Bett, a spinster who lives with her sister and brother-in-law in a small town in the Midwest. Lulu is constantly belittled and taken advantage of by her family, who treat her as a servant rather than a member of the family. One day, Lulu's brother-in-law's brother, Ninian Deacon, comes to visit and Lulu finds herself falling in love with him. However, when Ninian proposes to her, Lulu begins to question whether or not she truly wants to marry him and be trapped in another oppressive household. As Lulu struggles to come to a decision about her future, she begins to assert her independence and stand up for herself against her family. The novel explores themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the search for personal fulfillment.
