The story revolves around Karen Stone, a wealthy, fiftyish American stage actress who has recently retired from the theater after a humiliating, age-inappropriate performance as Juliet. Unmoored by her fading beauty and the sudden death of her husband, Tom, she travels to post-WWII Rome to live an aimless life of leisure—a state of existence Williams describes as "drifting".
