'The Kindness of Women' continues the story of Jim, the young boy whose experiences in Japanese-occupied Shanghai were described in 'Empire of the Sun'. It follows his return to post-war England, setting his childhood in the context of a lifetime. Jim tries, and fails, to find stability as a medical student at Cambridge, then as a trainee RAF pilot in Canada. Having finally settled into happy family life, his world is ripped apart by domestic tragedy.
