The story opens in an autumn village on the slopes of the White Mountains, where children drone over their lessons in a crumbling schoolhouse, and follows a life out into the larger world of money and political maneuvering around the figure of Hamilton Burton. At its center an interlude titled “The Book of Life It Might Have Been” shows the road not taken.
