She lives a bohemian lifestyle within the limitations of her community. Her family has a respected position in the small rural town of Durdleham and intends to maintain a good standard for the town's citizens. But Clytie feels like a misfit in her family. Instead of engaging in traditional female pursuits, she wants to become an artist. Unfortunately, she struggles for a long time before following her grand dream.
