Nadine has always wanted her daughter Maud to be married and off her hands. When the two women are staying at Nadine's sister's house near Meaux, they become part of a sophisticated, worldly group into which neither Maud nor Edward Harrison, a young visitor from England, seem to fit. Maud if swept off her feet by Davis Tyler, a stylish, irresponsible young man who robs her of her innocence and disappears. Edward forced into adulthood by his inheritance of a bookshop, and thus a career, takes Maud into his care. But for both of them the shadow of Tyler is always there, illuminating their feelings of inadequacy, disappointment and loss.
