Following a passionate whirlwind romance with Walter Morel, an unsophisticated, drinking miner, Gertrude Coppard, a refined and delicately moulded woman, becomes Mrs. Morel, only to face the difficulties of living in a rented house with her husband’ s meagre salary and no satisfaction in life.
As they drift apart, Mrs. Morel’ s affections shift to her sons. Dedicating her life, first to William, the oldest, and then to Paul, her second son, she is determined that they not follow their father.
But what happens as the sons enter manhood and come in contact with women?
Will Paul be able to escape his mother’ s suffocating grasp?
Will Mrs. Morel remain a custodian of her sons’ souls?
