Both families also come into contact with Leonard Bast and his wife, a couple near the lowest tier of the rigid class system. Leonard's desire for cultural and intellectual status attracts the attention of Helen.

Londra. È l'incontro di tre differenti classi sociali nei primi anni del Novecento: le famiglie Wilcox, ricca e altolocata, Schlegel, benestante e borghese e Bast, proletaria. Ruth Wilcox stringe una tenera amicizia con Margaret Schlegel, al punto di lasciarle in eredità casa Howard, l'amata dimora di campagna. Ma il cinico marito Henry viene in possesso del testamento olografo e lo brucia, d'accordo con i figli: lo scapestrato Paul, l'inetto Charles e Evie. Il destino che lega le sorelle Margaret ed Helen Schlegel con le altre realtà sociali determinerà la scalata sociale della prima e la discesa della seconda. ( )
Finales del siglo XIX. Margaret Schlegel y su hermana Helen son dos mujeres cultas y emancipadas para la época en que viven. Su relación con la convencional familia Wilcox acaba en enemistad. Sin embargo, pasado cierto tiempo, se establece una estrecha relación entre Margaret y la señora Ruth Wilcox, quien, para disgusto de su familia, decide nombrar heredera de su mansión a la mayor de las Schlegel.
