Louise de Chaulieu and Renée de Maucombe leave their convent school together and go separate ways. Louise enters Paris society and seeks a grand, romantic love; Renée accepts a sensible marriage to a quiet older man in Provence and devotes herself to husband, children and estate. Over years of letters each reports her life to the other and questions the other’s choice.
