'Please Enjoy Your Happiness' is a coming-of-age memoir based on the English author's summer-long love affair with a remarkable older Japanese woman. When serving as a seaman aged 19, Brinkley-Rogers met Kaji Yukiko, a sophisticated, highly intellectual Japanese woman, who was on the run from her vicious gangster boyfriend, a member of Japan's brutal crime syndicate, the Yakuza. Trying to create a perfect experience of purity, she took Rogers under her wing, sharing their love of poetry, cinema and music and many an afternoon at The Mozart Cafe. Brinkley-Rogers, now in his seventies, re-reads Yukiko's letters and finally recognises her as the love of his life, receiving at last the gifts she tried to bestow on him.
