A través de las páginas de Los últimos días de Richmond Hall asistimos a la creación de una persona en dos épocas decisivas de su vida, que coinciden con dos períodos de transición en el Reino Unido y en el desarrollo humano de Lilianne Elizabeth Lindon: la alocada adolescencia, en el burbujeante Londres de principios de la década de 1960, y el sutil cambio que lleva de la juventud a la madurez, en el deslumbrante escenario de una gran casa de campo en Yorkshire, con breves escapadas a la capital británica o a la ciudad de York, en el momento en el que Margaret Thatcher asume el poder como Primera Ministra. En este doble contexto se produce en Richmond Hall el encuentro y el turbulento reencuentro entre los protagonistas. Primero asumiendo los papeles de profesor y alumna; años después intercambiando los roles, Lilianne como dueña y señora de la imponente casa –el Black Palace– y Mark como el arquitecto encargado de restaurar la cúpula del vestíbulo. Las mismas vivencias de pasión, turbación y desengaño se verán reflejadas a través de los respectivos puntos de vista de ambos protagonistas.
