Three women from different backgrounds play their part in the moulding of Helen Calloway's character as she makes the transition from life in a cottage, to fame in the world of haute couture and a marriage which takes her across the sea. . . . The spinster for whom education is all; a Baroness, the epitome of charm and gentility and an Indian Princess, who reflects all that is best of her creed and culture. Set in the Edwardian era with the country. Moving towards war, Helen's changing fortunes reflect the shifting status of women, until finally accepted as full members of society.
