Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America in the early 20th century, the novel reflects the complexities of societal norms and personal desires, employing a keen psychological insight that renders each character deeply relatable yet uniquely distinct. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, a prominent American author and social reformer, drew from her own experiences as a progressive thinker and an advocate for education and women's rights. Growing up in a culturally enriched environment, Fisher had access to literature and ideas that shaped her worldview. Her background as a translator and educator further informs the nuanced portrayals within the novel, reflecting her belief in the transformative power of literature to address societal issues. Recommended for readers who appreciate thought-provoking narratives rooted in human psychology, "The Brimming Cup" offers an enduring exploration of the complexities of life and relationships. Fisher's masterful storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own experiences, making this work a timeless addition to the canon of American literature.

Ida Joner gets on her brand-new bike and sets off toward town. A good-natured, happy girl, she is looking forward to her tenth birthday.

Suspicion immediately falls on Emil Mork, a local character who lives alone and hasn't spoken since childhood. His mother insists on cleaning his house weekly—although she's sometimes afraid of what she might find there. A mother's worst nightmare in either case—to lose a child or to think a child capable of murder. As Ida's relatives reach the breaking point and the media frenzy surrounding the case begins, Inspector Konrad Sejer is his usual calm and reassuring self. But he's puzzled. And disturbed. This is the strangest case he's seen in years.
