The Waterhouses revere the late Queen and cling to Victorian traditions; the Colemans look forward to a more modern society.

And, even more unsuitably, become involved with the gravedigger's muddy son."

Separated by social class as well as taste, the Waterhouses cling to traditions while the Colemans look ahead to a more modern society. As the girls grow up and the nation emerges from the shadows of oppressive Victorian values, one woman's bid for greater personal freedom has disastrous consequences, changing the lives of both families forever."@en
