While the idealistic David Blackburn tries to improve the world with a new invention, his beautiful and formidable wife Angelica subtly and ruthlessly manipulates those around her. This 1919 novel of politics and patriotism, written about the aftermath of the First World War, reflects Glasgow’s belief that individual discipline is the key to peace.
