In this novel, the protagonist, a homely young woman named Nell who lives her entire life in the poor black neighborhood of the Bottom, serves as a foil to the vivacious and amoral title character. Notable episodes in the novel include the renaming as "Dewey" of all three adopted boys and the aged Eva imagining herself as Brünnhilde while she immolates her drug­addicted grandson Plum. Loneliness and despair over the title character's sudden death bring about the climax, in which the poor blacks stream out of the Bottom and die en masse in a blaze of glory trying to attack a bridge in the white section of town.
