Nessuno può fare a meno di meravigliarsi, ogni tanto, di come il corso della vita possa cambiare per dettagli apparentemente insignificanti. Tanto meno Kate, nata in una povera famiglia di contadini e finita, dopo la morte del padre, nella villa dei Fortune, la più ricca e importante dinastia di Portland. Di loro, in paese, si dice che “non c’è porto troppo lontano perché i pini dei Fortune non possano gettarvi la loro ombra”. Avviene così che Kate, infilata la porta di servizio del gran mondo, ne entri a far parte integrante, come una pianta selvatica che si trovi a crescere per caso in un giardino signorile.
