Lucy Dean is a young woman of eighteen with no money, no job and four young brothers and sisters to support. James Buchanan is a young man of thirty-four with a great fortune, who thinks that Lucy Dean is the most remarkable girl he has ever met.
What could be more natural than their marriage? James - whom everyone had thought was all but engaged to the wilful beauty Charlotte Gibson - proposes, and a grateful Lucy accepts.
But the surprising marriage that by turns charms and scandalizes Ambleside does not bring them happiness. And all too soon, they are separated by the brutal Great War. When Lucy finally realizes where her heart truly lies, it may late to undo the misunderstandings that have dogged them since their first encounter.
