A century‑spanning love story follows two interwoven cotton‑merchant families—one in England, the other in America, with branches in France and Prussia. Bound by a belief that their trans‑national business can survive any crisis, they endure the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and later the trials of World I and its aftermath.
