In 1860, as a young girl of 17, Lady Slane nurtures a secret, burning ambition - to become an artist. Instead, she becomes, the wife of a great statesman and the mother of six children. Seventy years later, released by widowhood, and to the dismay of her pompous children, she abandons the family home for a tiny house in Hampstead. Here she recollects the dreams of youth, and revels in her newfound freedom with her odd assortment of companions: Genoux, her French maid; Mr. Bucktrout, her house agent; and a coffin maker who pictures people dead in order to reveal their true characters. And then there's Mr. FitzGeorge, an eccentric millionaire who met and loved her in India when she was young and lovely. It is here, in this world of her own, that she finds a passion that comes only with the freedom to choose; and it is this, her greatest gift, that she passes on to the only one who can understand its value.
