"At eighteen, Lily becomes nanny to the family of Captain Fairford, a soldier in North India, and adores her charge, two-year-old Cosmo. Captain Fairford orders a new Daimler, and it is brought out by a young motor mechanic, Sam Ironside. Sam and Lily fall deeply in love, but when Lily later discovers he is married, she feels utterly betrayed. Eventually Cosmo is sent home to school, and Lily takes a post in a beautiful Himalayan hill station, but she is unprepared for the pain and misunderstandings that follow, forcing her to run from everything she has known."@en
