The main character of the novel is Alan, a young man who grows up in poverty in an industrial town in the north of England. As a child, for health reasons, he is sent to Cornwall, where he is placed by a wealthy and noble family. There he meets a lady, a mature woman with a strong personality, who will become his mentor, a moral role model and a symbol of beauty and dignity. Over the years, Alan remembers her influence, but also the whole network of people he met during his stay in the countryside - each of them left a mark on his soul and shaped him as a person. The novel is a melancholic story about the formation of identity, about kindness and disappointment, about love that is not always romantic, but often takes the form of friendship, tenderness or human warmth.
