The story revolves around an American family, the Copleys, and their experiences as they spend a summer in an Italian villa, highlighting themes of wealth, privilege, and social responsibility. The main character, Marcia Copley, is introduced as the charming and spirited daughter of a millionaire wheat magnate, navigating her new life amidst the historical and picturesque backdrop of Castel Vivalanti.  At the start of the story, we find Marcia and her aunt arriving at a tea gathering, where she is referred to as "the Wheat Princess" due to her family background. The discussions among the guests reveal the social dynamics and perceptions surrounding Marcia, especially in relation to her wealth and potential marriage prospects. We learn about her family's philanthropic efforts leads to mixed feelings among the attendees. The dialogue vividly sets the stage for the contrast between the Copleys' American millionaire lifestyle and the traditional Italian society they are entering, all while hinting at the complexities of identity, cultural expectations, and personal aspirations that are to unfold as Marcia adapts to her new environment.
