Rafe Crompton rules his wife, Daisy, and their four children with a rod of iron. Yet the tide is turning: Florence has found love with a sheet metal worker; Hilda wants to stay out late like the other girls; while Wilf and Harold have their hearts set on a place of their own, away from Rafe’s strict regime. It’s Hilda who finally tires of their overbearing father when she refuses to eat the herring served to her at dinner. Who could predict this one small act of rebellion would have such unexpected and far-reaching consequences?!

The story of Eddie Carbone, an Italian American longshoreman, working the docks around the Brooklyn Bridge. Eddie lives with his wife Beatrice and her orphaned niece, Catherine, who is growing into a young woman. His marriage has begun to suffer as his feelings for the girl change. Eddie returns home one afternoon with the news that he has agreed to put up Beatrice's two cousins, brothers Marco and Rodolpho, who have arrived in New York as illegal immigrants. Although Eddie, Beatrice and Catherine are at first excellent hosts, ominous cracks appear when Rodolpho and Catherine begin dating.

Young, handsome lawyer, Charles Bradford Raye is visiting the small city of Melchester on business, when he meets, and seduces Anna, an attractive country girl, at the local carnival. Anna has recently come to Melchester to work in the service of Edith Harnham and her husband, an elderly vintner. Charles returns to London, and writes to Anna, not knowing that she is illiterate and cannot read the letter. Anna begs Edith to write a letter for her, which she does, and the lovers fall into a regular correspondence. Anna begins by dictating the letters, but soon Edith edits and embellishes and even writes entire letters without Anna’s knowledge. Charles is astonished that an ill-educated country girl could write so well, and he begins to fall in love with the letter-writer. Then Anna finds herself ‘in a delicate situation’, and the plot thickens.
