Rupert Bligh, internationaly famous actor of stage and film, and Sonia, the postulant nun he met as a young man one summer and whom, for the rest of his life, remained forever in his heart.
And when Sonia is sent to a Catholic Mission in the Belgian Congo Rupert, in company with a well - respected Fleet Street journalist, goes to find her when the uprising out there becomes ever more volatile and dangerous - for everybody - even for charitable nuns at their Mission.
Their journey and search to find her and, if need be, bring her out considered, with every advice, reckless and utterly foolhardy was tragically achieved.
More than twenty years later Rupert encounters Elizabeth Eve, a leading ballerina who, in every aspect possible, resembled and reminded him of Sonia.
Despite her age as many years younger, Beth and Rupert become close friends - intimate to the point of never becoming lovers. But Beth, for him, lived Sonia once again, the woman he always held devoted above any other until, by fate and consequence, Beth meets and falls in love with another - a young man of mixed race - the child of Sonia the postulant. The mother he was never to know.
