About This Book

A collection of personal letters and a travel journal written by a young American woman abroad are presented as found correspondence, beginning when a narrator encounters her during an air raid and comes into possession of her papers. The epistolary material traces a romantic thread amid social life on the continent, exploring encounters inside diplomatic and high-society circles and contrasting American directness with Old World formality. Intimate missives and reflective entries examine attraction, cultural misunderstandings, and the emotional consequences of cross-cultural relationships, blending comic observation with moments of poignancy as the fate of the lost love letters is revealed.
