The story is set during the lively social circles of the 18th century, where it features prominent historical figures such as Dr. Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, and Edmund Burke engaged in spirited conversations. The plot revolves around themes of friendship, artistic debates, and the intricacies of love, notably distinguishing the character of Mary Horneck, referred to as the "Jessamy Bride," who seems to hold deep affection for Goldsmith. The opening of the novel introduces a dinner scene at the Crown and Anchor tavern, highlighting the dynamic interplay among famous literary and theatrical figures of the time.
