The story revolves around the themes of love, sacrifice, and personal growth as it explores the lives of young people affected by the realities of war. Main characters include John Cameron, a decently prepared soldier, and Ruth Macdonald, a girl who slowly becomes aware of the sacrifices made by men for their country. The opening of the novel introduces us to two young lieutenants, Harry Wainwright and Bob Wetherill, who discuss Wainwright's intentions to propose to Ruth Macdonald. Wainwright's self-assured attitude masks a competitive and somewhat unscrupulous nature, especially regarding his past with John Cameron, who appears later in the chapter. As the lieutenants make their way out to Bryne Haven, we witness the growing complexity of relationships, particularly when Cameron enters the scene. Ruth also becomes a central focus as she watches a group of drafted soldiers depart, gradually stirring her understanding of the war's personal toll. This poignant moment leads to an awakening of her feelings for Cameron, setting the stage for a deeply intertwined narrative of longing and growth amid the backdrop of war.
