As retired doctor Lettie Louw looks back upon her life, she recounts her approaching old in WWII-era South Africa in this convincing tale of delayed love, damage, and reconciliation. Lettie Louw is the princess of the town doctor in their Southern African town. She spends her youth in the warm African days and nights playing with her friends and being adored by her doting parents. When she becomes a teenager, she encounters her first preference of unrequited passionate love in the form of her best friend's more aged brother, De Wet Fourie. When De Wet pursues the stunning and wealthy Annabelle, Lettie's dreams are crushed, and she goes to Johannesburg to go after her studies in medicine. Life in Johannesburg feels strange to Lettie, and the earth around her is at deep upheaval as the next World Battle rages. Her thoughts for De Wet never waver, and Lettie is heartbroken when he marries another of her youth friends. Lettie soon meets Marco Romanelli, an Italian immigrant, plus they marry and raise two daughters as the racial and politics tensions in South Africa swirl about them. Lettie never forgets her first love, even as the ravages of your energy, war, and health problems play upon her life and the lives of those she loves. Within their old age, Lettie and De Wet are tossed into one another's company again, and they are given another chance at a life alongside one another.
