Spanning fifty years, from the 1860s through to the turn of the century, this work tells the story of Alexander Kinross, who flees from a childhood of poverty in Scotland to make his fortune in the Australian and the American gold fields. In the process, he meets the woman he loves but can never marry - and marries a woman who can never love him.

Acoperind cincizeci de ani, din anii 1860 pana la inceputul secolului, aceasta lucrare spune povestea lui Alexander Kinross, care fuge dintr-o copilarie saraca din Scotia pentru a-si face avere in campurile aurifere australiene si americane. In acest proces, o intalneste pe femeia pe care o iubeste, dar cu care nu se poate casatori niciodata - si se casatoreste cu o femeie care nu-l poate iubi niciodata.
