The lives of Quentin and Flora
intersect at the dawn of the Great War in Europe after each has grown up in the
public spotlight, he in the White House and she in the storied mansions of Manhattan
and Newport. His childhood precociousness charms the nation and parallels her
envelopment in her parents’ worlds of high art, luxury yachts and international
polo matches.
Quentin
and Flora reach beyond their families’ orbits to begin a searching adolescent
companionship that evolves inexorably into a fairy tale romance, tortured by
the uncertainty of war and a vast and dangerous ocean.
