The story centers on Ethelwyn Percivale, who reflects on her life and experiences as she navigates the complexities of love, marriage, and family. Set against the backdrop of social expectations and personal aspirations, the book delves into themes of identity, fidelity, and the struggles of emerging adulthood. At the start of the novel, Ethelwyn introduces herself and shares her feelings about leaving her parents and her old name behind as she embarks on her new life with her husband, Percivale. Through her introspective narration, we learn about her prompt to write and the discussions at her family dinner table that ultimately lead her to consider documenting her life experiences. The opening chapters offer a glimpse into her relationships with her husband and her parents, highlighting her father's philosophical views and her mother’s nurturing presence, all while she grapples with her insecurities about being capable of telling her story. This blend of personal reflection, familial dynamics, and societal commentary sets the tone for a thoughtful exploration of a young woman's journey in a changing world.
