About This Book

The narrative follows two young dreamers whose travels carry them into an ancient Chinese city and other distant settings, where a visiting traveler’s sensory impressions—markets, palanquins, incense, and street ceremonies—blend with private reveries. Youthful idealism and creeping disillusion frame episodes of cross-cultural encounter, romantic entanglement, and mounting peril, as vivid, sensual detail alternates with introspective reflection and a series of choices that push the characters toward unforeseen consequences.
