The powerful story, set in a quiet London square in the 1920s, of Henry Earlforward, a miserly book dealer, and the consequences of his decision to marry Violet Arb, who owns the confectionery shop across the square. Contains much sexual symbolism and is a complete departure from Bennett's Five Towns work.
