The elderly Claudia Hampton, a best-selling author of popular history, lies alone in a London hospital bed. This story is her history, the life of a strong, independent woman, with its often contentious relations with family and friends at the center of which is the cruelly truncated affair with Tom, a British tank commander whom Claudia knew as a reporter in Egypt during World War II.
