Lucinda's grandfather is forced to leave England in disgrace, and settles in Australia. His son Fred takes over the management of a run-down station in the Riverina, where his tenacity in the face of adverse conditions eventually makes him a wealthy man. The Vanes buy "Turella", one of the finest houses in Toorak, where Melba sings and the cream of Melbourne society gathers for garden parties. At Government House, Lucinda meets Captain Hugo Brayford, the new A.D.C. and in what seems to everybody to be a perfect match, they are married and leave for England. Here the whole course of Lucinda's life changes. Her marriage founders and her former life of ease and wealth is replaced by wartime auterity. She becomes a troubled and ultimately tragic figure.
