Durie then married F. John Bersbach. They were divorced, and she married, third, John F. Kennedy, son of Joseph P. Kennedy, one time Ambassador to England.

In the villa, matching its decay with his own collapse, lives Geoffrey Firmin, onetime British vice-consul in Quauhnahuac, now a mentally tortured, helpless dipsomaniac. Upon him, one bright morning-just as he is staggering out of a bar, still wearing last night's tuxedo-descends his divorced American wife Yvonne, in a last desperate effort to remake their marriage...
