5/5 ( ratings)

An Englishman travelling alone on a small Greek island at the height of summer makes the acquaintance of a young woman, Ruth Forbes, and her older travelling companion, Mrs. Keller.

He gradually discovers that Ruth is being held in a sort of emotional bondage.How he succeeds in releasing her from this bondage and in giving her some kind of love, which she very desperately needs, forms the theme of a tale that is near-tragic in its suspense and beauty.
