Overview

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.
