The story is set in Nova Scotia and follows the lives of its characters as they navigate themes of heritage, identity, and relationships, particularly focusing on Frank Winslow, a young geologist, and Marie Gotro, the daughter of the last representative of the Gotro family. Their interactions unfold against the backdrop of historical Acadian legacy, particularly related to the land of Grand-Pré, which holds deep significance for those connected to it. At the start of the narrative, we meet Frank Winslow aboard the yacht "Marie", accompanied by Len Lawson, as they explore the picturesque shores of Minas Basin. The tension builds when Winslow encounters Pierre Gotro and his daughter Marie on Pierre Island, leading to an unexpected accident where Winslow becomes trapped beneath falling rocks while examining the cliffs. The opening chapters skillfully introduce the characters' dynamics, particularly the budding interest Winslow develops toward Marie, along with hints of Len's complicated feelings towards her. As Winslow recovers, the connections between the characters deepen, setting the stage for further exploration of their intertwined fates. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
