Atthe start of the novel, the rural village of Hometon offers a nostalgic backdrop as Evan bids farewell to familiar faces, hoping to make a successful transition into the banking world. The initial chapters establish his relationships with his family and friends, presenting his aspirations and the disillusionments that come with entering adulthood. The narrative follows Evan's clumsy encounters with bank procedures, humorous missteps with colleagues, and gradual adaptation to his new life, all while reflecting on his past and feelings for a girl named Frankie.
