At the age of forty, Dr. Ruth Weiss realized that literature had significantly impacted her life. Despite her beauty, intelligence, and academic career, she finds herself feeling isolated. Engaged deeply in the study of Balzac's heroines, Ruth seeks enlightenment about the missteps in her own childhood and adult experiences, rather than looking for rescue. As she reflects on her past, revisiting memories of growing up in London along with her failed romantic endeavors in Paris, she begins to speculate if there might still be an opportunity for a fresh chapter in her life.
