The novel is set in the late 19th century, in a small coastal town in England. Rosamund lives with her father, a retired sea captain, and her sister, who is engaged to a wealthy man. Rosamund's life changes when she meets a young artist named Gilbert, who encourages her to follow her dreams and pursue her art. As Rosamund begins to develop her artistic skills, she also becomes involved in the suffragette movement, fighting for women's rights and equality. This brings her into conflict with her family and the conservative society she lives in.

It is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the late 19th century and their fight for independence and equality.""They hid from us as soon as we began swimming about. We heard them sing the same song over and over and over, and we tried to find them; but we did not see them again until we tried to come in. Then the little hands and arms helped us back in the same way, and, as we stepped on to the firm sand, they all arose from the water and took hands, and danced away across the sea along the silvery path. We waited a long time for them to come back, but they did not sing or come any more, so we ran home and climbed in at the window again and went to bed.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
