A tale about John Gourlay, the protagonist who is a big domineering man and rules the local economy. He is a harsh and powerful person. He has built a house with Green Shutters on the bay. This house is both the symbol of his dominance and an object of hatred and envy to the townsfolk. It is a classical Greek tragedy that preordains his fall in status. Appealing!
