The story unfolds in a richly detailed world, diving into the lives of intertwining characters such as Richard Hogarth and Margaret Hogarth amidst a backdrop of societal upheaval, including the persecution of Jewish communities in Europe. The narrative engages with themes of identity, love, power, and the struggle against oppressive systems. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the atmosphere of Lisbon during the Day of Atonement in a synagogue, where an old woman, sensing an impending crisis, faints while calling for her daughter, Rebekah. The plot quickly shifts to the tension rising in Europe against Jews, revealing economic motives with Baruch Frankl seizing Westring Vale. Richard Hogarth, described as the "Black Hogarth," faces challenges and confrontations that arise due to this turmoil. As the story unfolds, conflicts revolving around land ownership, social status, and romantic entanglements establish a personal and political drama that weighs heavily on Hogarth and those around him, hinting at the chaos that will continue to unfold in the narrative.
