Oliver Barrett IV, a Harvard student from a wealthy WASP family, fell in love with Jennifer, a Radcliffe music major, daughter of a pastry chef of Italian descent. Jennifer returned his love. The two of them started talking about marriage, thinking they were made for each other. Abanker and a squeamish parent, Oliver Barrett III refused to give his blessing to the proposedalliance. Oliver and Jennifer thereupon went ahead on their own, contented with their "love in a cottage."
出生于富裕的上層白人家庭的哈佛學生奧利佛·巴雷特第四愛上了意大利裔糕點師的女兒拉德克利夫學院音樂專業的學生詹妮弗。詹妮弗以愛相報。他們開始談婚論嫁，認為他倆是天生的一對。銀行家奧利弗·巴特雷第三是個過分拘謹的家長，他不同意這一提議中的婚姻。奧利佛與詹妮弗隨即自己作主結了婚，甘愿過“清貧而和諧的婚姻生活。”
We join the novel in Chapter 13, three years after Oliver married Jennifer regardless of his father's fierce opposition. One day, they received an invitation from Oliver's parents to the old man's sixtieth birthday party. Jennifer preferred accepting the invitation, regarding it as agood opportunity for a reconciliation between father and son. But Oliver wouldn't give it a thought. Thus the two of them had a violent quarrel...
