The story revolves around Martha Keene, an American artist studying in a Parisian atelier, and her infatuation with a beautiful Russian princess named Sonia, who is also pursuing her passion for painting. This narrative combines themes of admiration, artistic aspiration, and the complexities of relationships, particularly as they touch upon class divisions and personal longing. The opening of the novel introduces Martha Keene, who is deeply affected by her admiration for Sonia, the princess, whom she idolizes not just for her beauty but also for her artistic talent. Martha's journey of self-discovery and her burgeoning friendship with Sonia unfolds against the backdrop of the atelier, where they are both participants in the challenging world of art. Despite their budding connection, there is an inherent shyness and social barrier due to their differing statuses. As Martha grapples with her feelings of inferiority and strives to find her voice in art, the narrative hints at deeper questions of identity and the search for belonging, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of love and friendship in an inspirational yet formidable environment.
