The opening of the novel presents a vivid scene at the Hoboken pier as Frances and George prepare to depart for Europe. Amidst the farewell festivities, the story captures a sense of anticipation and nostalgia. Through the interactions between Frances, who carries an air of youthful exuberance despite her age, and her son, who is burdened by his academic pursuits and impending responsibilities, readers glimpse the depth of their bond. As the ship sets sail, underlying tensions surface relating to George’s education and his choices, including his burgeoning interest in a mysterious female passenger, which foreshadows complications that may arise from his new life.
