Follows Maria Jameson, a married woman in the midst of an affair, and looks back at the life and numerous high-profile love affairs of the French writer, George Sand. As Maria immerses herself in Sand's biography, she moves from the self-centered intensity of her affair to a larger and deeper connection to herself, her family and the wider world.
