- Summary
- Beatrice and Miriam are sisters, loving but not entirely uncritical; each secretly deplores the other's aspirations. Their lives fall short of what they would have wished for themselves: love, intimacy, exclusivity, acknowledgement in the eyes of the world, even a measure of respect. Each discovers to her cost that love can be a self seeking business and that lovers have their own exclusive desires.
- In search of reciprocity they are forced back into each other's company, and rediscover their original closeness in the course of quiet attempts to gain a measure of wisdom and acceptance.
