A Japanese Romance is a novel written by Clive Holland and published in 1904. The story is set in Japan during the late 19th century and follows the romantic relationship between a British diplomat named Sir Francis Willoughby and a Japanese woman named Yuki. The two meet when Yuki is hired as a maid for Sir Francis' household, and they quickly become infatuated with each other. However, their relationship is met with disapproval from both their respective cultures, as interracial relationships were not accepted at the time. The novel explores themes of love, cultural differences, and the challenges of navigating a relationship in a society that does not accept it. The story is also set against the backdrop of Japan's rapid modernization during the Meiji period, and the societal changes that come with it. Overall, A Japanese Romance is a compelling love story that offers insight into the cultural and social dynamics of Japan during a transformative period in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
