"It is set in Jordan, a Connecticut village, during the nineteen-fifties.  Eva, around whose life the story unfolds, is a young woman who stands at the centre of the town and the time - her roots in the substantial and elegant past, which since the war has faded into remote history; her present one of turbulence and change; her future a mystery and a challenge, opening out into possibilities that her New England ancestors, her parents even, could not have conceived of."
