At the start of the novel, Mary is saying goodbye to the convent garden, reflecting on her years spent in the sheltered life of a novice. As she prepares for her departure, she grapples with feelings of nostalgia and homesickness, despite having chosen to leave the convent. Her friend, Peter Maxwell, encourages her to embrace her newfound freedom as Mary's mind swirls with thoughts of the vibrant world awaiting her, particularly her long-held dream of visiting Italy. The emotional weight of her decision to leave the convent is palpable and sets up a compelling exploration of her journey into adulthood, freedom, and the uncertainties that come with it.
