The opening of the novel
focuses on the struggle of the new wife, who has worked hard to erase memories of Alison from her husband's mind and their home. Despite her efforts, the loyal dog of Alison remains a reminder of her legacy, resisting the second wife's attempts to claim the household as entirely her own.
