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.

Cuprinzand cincizeci de ani, din anii 1860 pana la inceputul secolului, aceasta lucrare spune povestea lui Alexander Kinross, care fuge dintr-o copilarie de saracie in Scotia pentru a-si face avere in campurile de aur din Australia si America. In acest proces, el intalneste femeia pe care o iubeste, dar nu se poate casatori niciodata - si se casatoreste cu o femeie care nu il poate iubi niciodata.
