Sweet novel-length love letter by a young sailor to an older Japanese woman, written fifty years after their brief time together in 1959 Yokosuka, Japan. Honest and pure, the author obviously still feels the wonder.
In his mid 70s, the author reminisces about a woman he met in Japan in 1959 and the letters they exchanged. He tells what he learned from this early love.
