It is the end of the 19th century and Victoria's reign is coming to an end. It is also the end of an era, but no one knows. The landed gentry, so soon to lose their power, are the last to suspect.
Bertha Ley is mistress of Court Ley, a great spread of land. She marries Edward Craddock, a man beneath her station, but quite the essence of new order. A gentleman farmer, he is steady and a doer who turns Court Ley into an efficient farm. But Bertha wants passion and ardor: she gets reality.
"Bertha's tragedy is in her expectations--life would be so simple without them. Her assaults on the amiable Craddock are as rational as beating a flounder for not flying." (Literary Observer)

評分记得《傲慢与偏见》里的班先生，以讽刺班太太为生活主要内容，理性的男人求偶期的为美貌所惑，挺迷思的。男女对换，就是伯莎和爱德华了。当比较聪明的那个是女人，而比较愚蠢的男人又想驾驭她，确实局面更可悲些。很多人看觉得女主作？其实女主是太多激情了，情欲？爱情？颜控...
