The novel deals in a quiet, understated way with the complicated relationships between two sisters, their mother, a daughter, some husbands and lovers, and with the attempts of various characters to make sense out of their lives. We first glimpse Eliza Hamilton Quarles as a blonde boarding-school student, sitting in a sophisticated New York club, listening to Billie Holiday. She is on the brink of her marriage to her older, worldly date. Twenty years later, a mother, divorced, she, tentatively begins a new life, with new lovers, new interests, new strength, even a new, more comfortable identity.
