About This Book

A romantic tale follows Jack Bigelow's arrival in a Japanese port to search for a vanished, exquisitely talented young performer believed to be Yuki. His month-long inquiry through tea houses, gardens, and entertainments threads together episodes of moonlit festivals, dances, proposals, secret agreements, personal sacrifice, and nocturnal confrontation. The episodic structure alternates vivid social scenes with intimate revelation, examining identity, cross-cultural encounters, longing, and the costs and consolations of love.
