Summary:
Sam Dodsworth is a rags-to-riches millionaire who finds that his money cannot bring him happiness. His unsatisfied wife, Fran, seeking glamour and sophistication, persuades him to take her on a grand tour of Europe, where she promptly deserts him for a romantic but penniless baron. Brokenhearted, Sam meets Edith, a widow who arouses passions he never thought he had and sets him on a collision course with his wife, unleashing a torrent of desire, betrayal, and shocking revelations.
