The story centers around three young women—Claire, Marion, and Helen—who have just completed their education in a convent and are preparing to enter the outside world. Each character embodies different aspirations and views on life, with Claire being an aspiring artist, Marion seeking financial security, and Helen focusing on happiness and love. The interactions among these girls highlight their contrasting personalities and set the stage for their individual journeys into adulthood. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the three girls in a school setting as they reflect on their impending freedom from the convent. Claire, the least beautiful but an introspective artist, expresses her fears about facing the outside world alone; Marion dreams of wealth and success but grapples with her own insecurities; and Helen, the embodiment of optimism, looks forward to reuniting with her family. The narrative captures their nuanced emotions as they prepare for a transition that promises challenges and opportunities, and hints at future tensions that may arise from their differing ambitions and values as they navigate adult life.
