Tristram struggles to reconcile his desire for the Countess with his growing feelings for Lucy.Meanwhile, a scandal involving the Countess and her husband threatens to destroy her reputation and her marriage. Tristram becomes embroiled in the scandal, and his loyalty to the Countess is tested.Throughout the novel, Young explores themes of love, desire, loyalty, and morality.
