The narrative follows Harker Brauns after his wife brings her orphaned 16-year-old niece, Tildy, to live with them. Tildy is described as a voluptuous and over-sexed “nymphet” who immediately pursues her uncle, leading to a descent into chaos for Harker.The book is an effective, albeit controversial by modern standards, depiction of sexual obsession and psychological turmoil. It’s written in a direct, straightforward style with no filler, a hallmark of Brewer’s work.
