Page after page continues the moving life story of Dara Tully, later Lady Palrose. Seven years of her life pass before the readers: a girl from the Irish Isle of Man, having experienced many adventures with which her destiny is so rich, becomes a high-society lady, the mistress of the crown prince. What kind of men have been in her bed during this time: an Irish farmer, a widower-pastor, a rude lout-rapist, a London “cockney”, an ominous dwarf... Dara’s inquisitive mind and natural sharpness allow her to maintain optimism in life and “fit in” with any society.
