describes an erotic and econmic triangle, in which two wealthy and fantastically unhappy Mississippi familes-the Barcrofts and the carrutherses-are joined by an open faced fortune hunter from the North, a man whose ruthlessness is matched only by his inability to understand the people he tries to exploit and his fatal incomprehension of the passions he so casually ignites.
