Contrary, opinionated, and headstrong, Becky Collins - daughter of Charlotte Lucas and Mr. Collins - has always defied her staid upbringing with a determination not to submit to the pressures of Victorian domesticity and class distinction. She marries Anthony Tate, a man of wealth and power, believing it will enhance her opportunities to make something significant of a hitherto ordinary life, but quickly discovers that it brings her neither happiness nor contentment.
