This is a charming little love story set in the early years of the Twentieth Century. Susanna, Countess of Sampaolo, a small island off the coast of Italy, believes that a cousin in England is the true Count of Sampaolo and travels incognito to England to confirm her belief. In order to renounce her title and inheritance, Susanna must either enter a convent or marry the new Count. When the cousins meet she decides on the way forward and hopes that her cousin, Anthony, will follow the same path.
