Jean, though English, has never seen England until she is twenty. Then her father, a prey to wanderlust, packs her off to some friends of his, while he goes roaming the world. Just before she goes to England, Jean has one magical day with an anonymous young Englishman, and to her surprise and his apparent dismay when she arrives at Lady Anne’s home where she is to stay she finds the elder son of the house to be her unknown companion of Montavan. The magic still holds for both of them, but there are many barriers between them and many bitter hours before they finally enter their “house of dreams-come-true,” a house “not built of stones and mortar, but just—where love is.”
