The story centers on Alexina Groome, a young woman caught between the expectations of her proud old family and the exciting, modern world that beckons her to embrace a more liberated and adventurous life. The opening of the book introduces us to Alexina, who is out past midnight for the first time, returning from a dazzling party that starkly contrasts with her previous experiences under her strict mother, Mrs. Groome. As Alexina navigates the streets of San Francisco, she reflects on her past and the social constraints imposed by her aristocratic upbringing while feeling exhilarated by the changing social landscape. Suddenly, the tranquility is shattered by an earthquake that devastates the city, forcing Alexina and her family to confront not only the physical destruction around them but also the shifts in social classes and their personal relationships. The early chapters set the tone for a dramatic exploration of resilience, identity, and romance amid social transformation, casting Alexina and those around her into a rapidly changing world.
