English Summary/英文概要： Two lives in danger – her lover’s and her sister’s. But she must choose only one.In 1913, young Irish emigrant Eva Downey is trapped in London with a remote father and hostile stepmother. When she is awarded a legacy from an old suffragette to attend a finishing school in Kent, she jumps at the chance. At the school, she finds kinship and later falls in love with her teacher Christopher Shandlin, her intellectual equal.
But when war does break out, her fanatical and disapproving stepsister Grace forces a choice on Eva. She must present Shandlin, who refuses to fight, with a white feather of cowardice, or no money will be given for her sister Imelda’s life-saving treatment in Switzerland. Caught in a dilemma, she chooses her sister over her lover, a decision which will have irrevocable consequences for both her and Christopher and haunt her for the rest of her life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 两个人的生命危在旦夕---她的恋人和她的妹妹。然而她却只能选择拯救一人。
1913年，年轻的爱尔兰移民伊娃•唐尼身陷伦敦，在她身边的是疏远的父亲和充满敌意的继母。当她经过古老的票选，获得了前往一座位于肯特郡的女子精修学校就读的机会时，她几乎毫不犹豫的就去了。在这所学校里，她找寻到了亲人，并于随后与她的老师，同时也是一名与她才智相投的人---克里斯托弗•桑德林陷入爱河。
然而当战争来临，她疯狂且讨人厌恶的继妹格蕾丝让她不得不面对一个困难的抉择。她必须呈上一根象征着胆小和懦夫的白羽毛给拒绝参战的桑德林，否则他们便不会花费任何金钱去给在瑞典等着救命治疗的妹妹伊梅尔达。两难之中，她选择了妹妹，放弃了恋人，殊不知这一决定不论是对她而言，还是对克里斯托弗而言都将产生不可挽回的影响，并且将在她的余生中都留下不可磨灭的影子。（DC）
