Sally Carrol was a girl from the South who wanted more, and so she got engaged to Harry Bellamy, a man from the North. But when the iciness of his ways started biting into her, she felt dangerously trapped. Is it better to be comfortable and safe, or adventurous and in danger?

This was my least favourite work of Fitzgerald, for I felt like there really wasn't much to tell in here. And I didn't care for the characters in the slightest. I kept waiting for something to happen and something happened indeed but it was so brief, I quickly grew bored again. There were a couple of nice lines in here that made up for it slightly but that's about it.
