Sinossi

In a suburban district, two elderly ladies, Miss Bertha Williams and Miss Monica Williams, watch the arrival of new neighbors and try to make sense of what they see. From their window, they observe the move into number three, where Mrs. Westmacott settles in with her nephew, Charles. Their curiosity quickly turns into amusement and bewilderment as the household’s behavior and the unusual things being brought inside challenge the ladies’ assumptions about how people should live. Set against the backdrop of social change, the story explores shifting attitudes, particularly regarding women’s roles in society, while following how the relationships among the characters develop as they interact and test their own expectations.
