Charlotte Bronn leaves the Maraneck State Hospital mental institution in New England, after a year there, to resume her life in a chilly relationship with her distant and emotionally repressed professor husband, in her home, where they all live with Charlottes stepsister Joan as well as Joans mother, the scattered chatterer Inez Mabel Albertson. They also have a boarder, Dr. Jake Diamond, who according to Arnold has been experiencing antiSemitism at the college where they both teach.Arnold avoids Charlotte, sleeping on the couch instead of in their bed, keeping away from her with a multitude of excuses. Part of Charlottes commitment to the mental facility hinged on her continuing suspicions of an attraction between her husband and her beautiful halfsister. Diamond also appears to develop a romantic interest in Charlotte. ........
