This short novel is about Kitty Maule, an Englishwoman of French descent who attempts to move things along in her life, which has become somewhat stagnant. While working on her debut lecture at a small university, she also pursues resolution for her long, circumspect courtship of her fellow academic, Maurice. Kitty's attempts to effect change and movement in her life meet with only partial success. I think this novel is alrgely about the disappointments that can result from a too-careful approach to life.
