The book centers on Leslie Lisle, a graceful and beautiful young girl living in the tranquil coastal village of Portmaris. It explores themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through Leslie's interactions with her father and a young duke grappling with his physical disabilities. The opening of the novel introduces Leslie and her father, Francis Lisle, in their modest seaside cottage. While her father dreams of becoming a painter, he is oblivious to the lack of talent in his artwork, and Leslie plays the supportive daughter, often taking care of him despite his delusions of grandeur. The peaceful life they lead is soon disrupted by a new arrival—a crippled young duke—who struggles with his identity and the superficial perceptions of those around him. This setting hints at a narrative rich in emotional depth, inviting readers to delve into the lives of characters searching for validation and connection amid societal expectations.
