This volume focuses on his attempts to create a life within this unusual society, particularly as he anticipates the arrival of his father-in-law. The story uses humor to show his interactions with family, like his brother-in-law Quangrollart, as Peter attempts to share English customs and inventions. Between managing social events, family reunions, and adapting to new expectations, Peter’s adventure is driven by love and cultural adaptation.
