The story follows Colonel Tempest, who, along with his son Archie, embarks on a journey to their ancestral home, Overleigh, to visit his dying brother. As Colonel Tempest reflects on his tumultuous past, particularly his estrangement from his brother over a woman, the narrative delves into themes of memory, familial ties, abandonment, and the complex nature of love. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of Colonel Tempest and his son in a train carriage on a cold April morning. As they travel, the Colonel is preoccupied with memories of his marital woes and the fallout from his choice to marry for love rather than family sentiment. He recalls the happy yet fleeting moments with his late wife, Di, and their troubled marriage that ultimately led to estrangement. The narrative swiftly shifts to the present, where the Colonel's internal struggles manifest as he anticipates a difficult reunion with his brother. This initial chapter sets the stage for the exploration of regret and the weight of familial expectations, defining themes that will resonate throughout the novel.
