About This Book

A young exile receives a surprising letter from an estranged uncle offering reconciliation and restoration of family property under the new imperial order, yet a hastily added English warning prompts unease. The narrator recollects ancestral feuds, shifting political loyalties, and a personal longing to return home during wartime, reinforced by his partner's encouragement. Provocations from locals in his adopted town and the puzzle of the warning propel him toward a decision. The account mixes intimate memory, family intrigue, and the tension between private honor and broader political change.
