The story revolves around the adventures and emotional journeys of young English siblings, Roy and Cecil Boniface, as they embark on a trip to Norway, seeking change and clarity in their lives. Central to the narrative is Cecil's struggle with her sense of identity and longing for deeper connections, as well as the encounters they have with the charming Norwegian, Frithiof Falck, which suggest a blossoming romance intertwined with cultural observations and personal growth. At the start of the novel, the Bonifaces are aboard a steamer headed toward Bergen, where Cecil expresses her desire to escape the company of English tourists and instead immerse herself in the beauty of Norway. The siblings' contrasting personalities vividly unfold, with Roy teasing Cecil about her misanthropy while she gazes at the stunning fjords with an air of dissatisfaction regarding her life in England. As they arrive in Bergen, they meet Frithiof, whose energetic demeanor and engaging manners awaken Cecil's curiosity and a sense of potential change in her life. The themes of longing, cultural differences, and romantic prospects begin to emerge, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and exploration of love and identity in this picturesque setting.
