The story unfolds in the lush setting of the West Indian islands, particularly focusing on the lives of Lenox Hildreth, a gentle scholar suffering from health issues, and his beloved daughter Evadne. The narrative explores themes of family, loss, and the journey of self-discovery as Evadne navigates her father's death and her relocation to New England, grappling with questions of faith and belonging. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lenox Hildreth, who, while engaged in writing, reflects on his precarious health and the anxious future of his daughter Evadne. We see the tender relationship between father and daughter, marked by shared joys and a deep connection to nature. The opening chapters detail Lenox's concerns for Evadne's ability to adapt to life away from their idyllic home in Barbados and hint at underlying tensions as he faces his diminishing health. Upon Lenox's untimely death, Evadne's world shifts dramatically as she is summoned to live with her relatives in America, leaving her to confront the challenges of a new life and the search for personal meaning amid grief and societal expectations.
