Lettie has always felt different from and overshadowed by
the women around her– this friend is richer, that friend is more beautiful,
those friends are closer. Still, she doesn’t let this hold her back. She works
hard to apply her mind, trying to compensate for her perceived lack of beauty
with diligent academic work and a successful career as a doctor. She learns to
treasure her friendships, but she still wonders if any man will ever return her
interest.
Marco’s experiences in the second world war have robbed him
of love and health. When winters in his native Italy prove dangerous to his
health even after the war has ended, he moves to South Africa to be with his
brother, husband to one of Lettie’s best friends. Marco is Lettie’s first
patient, and their relationship grows as she aids him on the road back to
restored health.
In the company of beloved characters from The Child
of the River, Marco and Lettie find a happiness that neither of them
thought possible. With that joy comes pain and loss, but Lettie learns that
life—while perhaps a crooked path—is always a journey worth taking.
