Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The colorful romance by the English author tells of the renewing power of true human emotion. A doctor, after a disappointment, falls into depression and, at a friend's suggestion, travels to the Canary Islands. During the sea voyage, he meets a young woman who, by her dreamy and sensitive nature, does not fit into the surrounding society and mentally connects with him. After landing, both remain on the islands, where a yellow fever epidemic breaks out, and the doctor decides to help the poor sick from an isolated estate. The woman falls ill and, in the midst of the fever, turns to the hero who saves her life at the last moment. However, the two return to England, where they should part forever, but the open ending of the novel does not exclude a happy conclusion.
