The story centers on Beatrice Raymond, a girl who has grown up without her father, who has been abroad for ten years collecting butterfly specimens. The narrative begins with Beatrice's anticipation and excitement as her father is set to return, alongside her struggle with feelings of inadequacy compared to her cousin, Adele, who is considered beautiful and charming. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Beatrice's world and the dynamic between her and her cousin Adele. Beatrice is depicted as an intelligent, nature-loving girl who feels overshadowed by Adele's beauty, igniting her insecurities, especially in light of her father's imminent return. As she wrestles with her identity and the judgments imposed by society, she attempts drastic measures, like altering her appearance to gain her father's affection. This opening portion sets the stage for themes of self-acceptance, the complexities of familial love, and the societal pressures concerning beauty and worth.
