Mrs.

Lidcote returns from Florence to America after 18 years, fearing social ostracism for her daughter Leila's divorce and quick remarriage, mirroring her own past scandal.

Instead, she finds New York society has evolved, accepting such behavior, leaving her isolated and reflective on her lost years.

Through encounters with old friends and family, she grapples with hypocrisy, memory, and the incomprehensibility of the present compared to her rigid past.
