SYNOPSIS: "Eugenia was a cultivated, aristocratic English woman who married Gilbert, the plantation and vineyard owner. But Eugenia had trouble adjusting to many aspects of plantation life that her husband takes in enthusiastic stride - the convict slave laborers, the ever-present danger of vengeful escapes, the suffocating summer heat, and the merciless winters. Both husband and wife find outside satisfaction - him from the attractive downstairs maid and Eugenia from the itinerant artist, who will alter the existence of all those at Yarrabee."
