Zámky väčšinou obraňujú muži, avšak tento bránia ženy. Epická historická sága sa sústreďuje na výnimočný zámok Lafayette vo Francúzsku a na ženy, ktoré sú s ním spojené. Osirelá učiteľka z II. svetovej vojny, bohabojná šľachtičná z osemnásteho storočia a nekonvenčná prominentka z prvej svetovej vojny sa všetky spájajú s markízom de Lafayette. Román zobrazuje búrlivú históriu francúzskych dejín prostredníctvom príbehov žien, ktoré našli útočisko v zámku počas revolúcií a vojen, pričom ich odvaha a sila ostávajú neochvejnými. V roku 1774 sa mladá šľachtičná Adrienne stáva manželkou markíza de Lafayette a politickou partnerkou v boji za americkú nezávislosť. Počas francúzskej revolúcie je nútená opustiť svojho muža, pričom jej literárne dielo sa stáva duchovným dedičstvom. V roku 1914 sa herečka Beatrice, fascinovaná Willieho Chanlerom, rozhodne založiť v zámku školu a sirotinec pre deti zničeného Francúzska, pričom sa snaží presvedčiť Ameriku, aby bojovala za spravodlivosť. V roku 1940 sa učiteľka Marthe Simonová, sirota, postaví pred výzvy nacistickej okupácie, čo ju vyburcuje k odvážnym činom a hľadaniu vlastnej identity.
