The story revolves around a young woman, Christine Dallas, who is newly married and traveling back from Europe with her husband. The narrative delves into her struggles with her foreignness and a profound sense of isolation, as she grapples with the difficulty of communication and connection in her new marriage, particularly with her emotionally distant husband. The opening of the novel introduces us to Albert Noel, an artist who becomes intrigued by Christine during their voyage. As he observes Christine and her husband, he notes her beauty but also perceives a profound sadness in her demeanor. Christine's struggles with language and her husband's indifference imply a deeper emotional turmoil. The reader is left with a sense of her longing for connection and understanding, setting the stage for the exploration of themes such as isolation, identity, and the complexities of marital relationships. As the story unfolds, it hints at the potential for friendship and artistic inspiration, particularly from Noel’s perspective as he considers painting her portrait.
