The story immerses readers in the vibrant life of Nevis during winter, focusing on the opulence of the Bath House hotel and its fashionable guests. The narrative follows Anne Percy, a strong-willed and unconventional young woman, as she navigates a world of social expectations and her emerging feelings for the infamous poet Byam Warner, whose life has spiraled into ruin. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Bath House, an extravagant resort that serves as a social hub for the English elite seeking warmth during the winter months. Anne Percy arrives at the hotel, feeling out of place among the finely-groomed ladies of fashion, and is not eager to conform to societal expectations. As she explores her surroundings, her thoughts frequently turn to Byam Warner, a poet she admires from afar but fears may not live up to her romantic ideals. Through vivid descriptions of the lush setting and the weight of societal norms, the opening portions set the tone for a rich exploration of love, identity, and redemption against the backdrop of the Caribbean's beauty.
