Exploring the complexities of familial relationships, the story centers on Gertrude, who, disillusioned by her abusive husband, grows close to her sons, William and Paul. Determined to shield them from a life of poverty, her intentions lead to conflict, especially as William's health declines and Paul seeks independence through various romantic entanglements. This semi-autobiographical novel is notable for its authentic portrayal of working-class life and the emotional struggles between loyalty to family and personal aspirations.
