The story revolves around Ronald Ewart, a young barrister who embarks on a trip alongside friends just as the shadows of World War I loom over England. The narrative explores themes of love, duty, and the harsh realities introduced by the impending war, particularly focusing on Ewart's relationship with Myra, the daughter of a general who is staunchly against their engagement. At the start of the novel, Ewart and his friends are enjoying a holiday on the river when they are suddenly confronted with the news of impending war. The mood shifts as the group grapples with the implications of enlistment and their personal lives. Ewart is particularly troubled by his love for Myra, who is tied to her father's expectations, leading him to contemplate breaking off their relationship for her sake. As he resolves to visit her, the tranquility of their world is shattered when Myra suddenly becomes blind after experiencing a mysterious green flash while fishing. This prompt twist sets the stage for a journey intertwining personal heartbreak and the larger context of wartime struggles, encapsulating the challenges faced by characters torn between love and the duties of war.
