This is a romantic novel involving the love story of a US naval officer and a beautiful Dutch girl, the daughter of a Dutch attache in Manila, during the initial months of the Second World War in the Far East. It begins in the Philippines and ends in the Dutch East Indies (now, Indonesia). The story generally alternates between the love affair and the officer's naval duties during the Japanese invasion and conquest of the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. The love affair is complicated by the ongoing war and the efforts of the girl's parents to stop the affair since they want their daughter to marry a close family friend. The tempo is dictated by the slow but steady advance of the Japanese military through the Philippine and Indonesian Islands and the struggle of the lovers to continue their romance despite all the difficulties.
