About the book
Two sisters, one beautiful and one plain, return unmarried from their adventures abroad to their parents' hotel on the mountain, where they become caught up in scandalous relations with an African official and an English botanist. A heartbroken woman tries to escape the memory of her son's death on a doomed holiday by the sea. Meanwhile, a lonely, awkward young Englishman—disorientated by years as a prisoner-of-war and orphaned by bombs in London—seeks a new life in the highlands.
