Daisy and Henry Lewis have been married for 20 years, and for all that time they have served as host families for international graduate students coming to study at Harvard. Daisy should have seen it coming - the beret and the funny Gallic accent, for instance - but she's still shocked rigid when Henry unceremoniously dumps her for the extremely French Giselle.
In spite of her discomfort with change of any kind Daisy picks up the pieces and soon finds herself a new love, a Harvard parasitologist with a heart of gold called Truman. He spends his life peering through a microscope, and he finds what he sees there strikingly similar to what he sees going on around him in human relationships. When Daisy discovers that her son and Truman's daughter are also in a romance, she is inclined to agree. But then yet another foreign graduate student appears on the scene, and everything gets shaken up all over again . . .
