Eleanor Lawrence, abandoned by her mother as a child and raised by a wealthy but indifferent father, grows up to pattern her life after her mother. Married suddenly and reluctantly, because of pregnancy, to a longtime suitor from a neighboring English estate, Eleanor falls complacently into the life of the spouse of a foreign officer. But after her father's death and her husband's assignment to Brazil, Eleanor is reunited with her flamboyant mother and drawn inexorably into her passion-filled lifestyle in Rio. Eleanor's affair with a Latin lover and the resulting divorce at her husband's insistence is a striking imitation of her mother's life. But Eleanor keeps her child, returns to work, remarries, and rebuilds her life in a far different pattern from her youth-obsessed mother. Complex intergenerational relationships, beyond the dominant mother-daughter one, lend this modern romance greater depth and interest.
