Joan Ogden is the clever elder daughter of retired middle-class parents living in a stultifying English seaside town. Into her life comes Elizabeth, first as governess, then as passionate friend.

Joan's mother - a gentle tyrant, brilliantly portayed - strangles each opportunity at birth. In the name of love she binds her daughter to her with hoops of steel, a trap which nothing can spring - no career, no man, and certainly no woman...
