More about the book
Set against the backdrop of Honolulu, the story follows Percival Ford, a man out of place at a social gathering of army officers and their elegant companions. Despite his status as a prominent figure in the Islands, he feels disconnected from the lively, glamorous army women, contrasting them with the more serious and familiar women he interacts with in his everyday life. As the Twentieth prepares to leave for Alaska, Ford grapples with his feelings of alienation and the complexities of social dynamics within this military community.
