Set in 1920s Japan, the novel offers a rich tapestry of perspectives, weaving together the experiences of a foreign pilot and various locals during a disastrous trip to Enoshima. The author, a former WWI pilot, employs a deceptively simple style to explore themes of seduction, innocence, and cultural contrast. Through the eyes of characters like a poor girl, a hotel proprietress, and a geisha, the narrative shifts from light-hearted moments to deeper shadows, providing profound insights into Japanese society and the vibrant atmosphere of Tokyo during that era.
