The story explores her struggles with grief, self-worth, and the complications of her new role amidst the challenges posed by her past and her aspirations for the future.  The opening of the novel sets the stage for Isabel’s tumultuous emotional landscape as she processes her father’s death and the financial ruin of her family. The scene is rich with detail about her background, indicating that she has come from a life of luxury in New York but must now confront the reality of her position as a governess.
