It is 1895. Robert Wallis, would-be poet, bohemian and impoverished
dandy, accepts a commission from coffee merchant Samuel Pinker to
categorise the different tastes of coffee - and encounters Pinker's
free-thinking daughters, Philomenia, Ada and Emily. As romance
blossoms with Emily, Robert realises that the Muse and marriage may
not be incompatible after all. Sent to Abyssinia to make his
fortune in the coffee trade, he becomes obsessed with a negro slave
girl, Fikre. He decides to use the money he has saved to buy her
from her owner - a decision that will change not only his own life,
but the lives of the three Pinker sisters . . .
