The story follows Kate Clephane, a woman in her early forties who reflects on her past and current life while navigating her relationship with her estranged daughter, Anne. The narrative explores themes of loneliness, societal expectations, and the quest for identity, ultimately delving into the emotional complexities of motherhood and reconciliation. At the start of the novel, Kate is introduced waking up in her modest hotel room on the Riviera, reminiscing about her past experiences filled with joy and disappointment. As she receives unexpected news about her former mother-in-law's death, she begins to consider the implications for her relationship with her daughter, from whom she has been separated for many years. The opening depicts her internal struggles with self-image, isolation, and a longing for connection, setting the stage for her eventual return to New York and the challenges that lie ahead in rekindling her role as a mother. The portrayal of Kate's character, alongside her maid Aline and the fleeting interactions with her past, paints a vivid picture of her emotional landscape as she contemplates her life choices and the potential for a new beginning with Anne.
