About This Book
A series of short, comic tales set around a coastal town portrays a succession of social encounters and romantic mishaps. Episodes feature awkward courtship, misunderstandings, cases of mistaken identity and encounters with ostentatious personages, each driven by social pretence or naive longing. The pieces use brisk, observational sketches and light satire to reveal vanity, desire and the small absurdities of everyday life.
