The narrative is set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, exploring the tensions between Loyalists, who remain faithful to the British Crown, and Patriots, who advocate for independence. Central to the story are characters like Peggy Shippen and Marjorie Allison, who represent the divided sentiments of their social class amidst the political upheaval of the time.  The opening of the book introduces readers to the vibrant social scene in Philadelphia during the British occupation. Two young women, Peggy and Marjorie, share intimate moments reflecting on events such as the grand Mischienza, a pageant honoring British General Howe, and their contrasting political beliefs. Peggy's aristocratic leanings align her with Loyalist sentiments, while Marjorie is staunchly patriotic. Their discussion paints a vivid picture of the era, highlighting not only their relationships but also the larger societal divisions that characterize the turmoil of the time. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the complexities of friendship tested by political loyalties, setting the stage for further conflict as the revolution progresses.
