A period of time passed by humanity, when it did not suffer from anything but time and the frequency of sorrows; in which wars erupt and lives were lost. This book tells the story of a woman, named Eleanor Macmillan, from the twentieth century, who lived a quiet life on Prince Edward Island, in the Canadian Kingdom, in the care of her brother and his family. She suffered from desolation, despite the fact that she was surrounded by supportive people.
