When George and Sabine Harwood arrive in Trinidad from England George instantly takes to their new life, but Sabine feels isolated, heatfatigued, and ill at ease with the racial segregation and the imminent dawning of a new era.

whom she pours out all her hopes and fears for the future in letters that she never brings herself to send.
