The story opens as the liner Kaiser Wilhelm pulls away from its pier in Hoboken, crowded with Germans waving goodbye. Aboard is Frances Waldeaux, whose life centres on her grown son, and the voyage and their travels in Europe bring her face to face with the people, attachments and choices that threaten the closeness she has guarded.
