The book is called "Please Enjoy Your Happiness" but to me, it was a sad tale about a young naive US Navy Man (who is British) and a 31 year old Japanese woman. Like Grease, he thought it was just a summer romance. Unlike Grease, it stayed just a summer romance.

This writing was enchanting. Most of the book is Paul re-telling their story to Yuki, so it's us witnessing a story in second person. And like overhearing a conversation between two good friends, a lot could be confusing to an outside to the reader, and myself.

But I decided to accept the story's beautiful pieces of writing and not get wrapped into the big picture. It's perhaps a book better targeted to someone older than me who lived during the time of the story. Even more for someone who lived in Japan during that time.

Sweet novel-length love letter by a young sailor to an older Japanese woman, written fifty years after their brief time together in 1959 Yokosuka, Japan. Honest and pure, the author obviously still feels the wonder.

In his mid 70s, the author reminisces about a woman he met in Japan in 1959 and the letters they exchanged. He tells what he learned from this early love.
