Spanning nearly half of a hundred years, The Old Wives Story is epic in level and range, tracing as it can the effects of time on two sisters and their environment. The book is a domestic story told with tenderness, and is concerned not with heroic statesmen or troops, but with small information on daily life in a way which demonstrates Bennett's great personal debt to french realist writers. The action is targeted mainly within the provincial town of Bursley, a startling comparison to Paris where Sophia and Gerald elope.
