<p>A tale of amorous dalliance in Polynesia, this is the exotic romance par excellence. Set in Tahiti in 1872, it is an autobiographical novel that tells of the love affair between a beautiful island girl and the French naval officer who wrote under the name of Pierre Loti. It is a sensuous book, full of the stormy passions of young love, the adventure of being in a strange and mysterious country, the excitement of slipping away to tryst in secret glades, the bittersweet happiness of lovers who know they are fated to part. Containing some of the finest lyrical evocations of island life ever written, this is the book that fixed the romantic Polynesian idyll in the public imagination for all time.</p>

This book is the first Western romance to be set in Japan and ushered in the vogue for all things Japanese. It also inspired Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly. The novel is autobiographical and tells the story of a French lieutenant and his geisha in the 1880s in Japan, when it was becoming westernised. It is a compelling portrait of a vanished age and the bittersweet meeting of East and West.
