註釋"Amantha, 18 years old in 1885, pretty and innocent, comes from finishing school to live with her uncle and aunt in Baltimore. She meets Godwin, an enterprising financier twice her age whose roots are in southern Maryland but whose cultural outlook is that of his French mother. To the surprise of everyone he chooses Amantha for his wife and takes her to Paris. She soon discovers the real role she is to play, as the wife of a wealthy, powerful man who proves to be a possessive husband and whose child she must raise. But in the midst of the drama of this life of privilege and constraint she has found, under the most unusual circumstances, the woman who gives her the love her heart seeks."--Publisher's description.
