For Kim's eccentric grandfather, the family home, Larkford, represented a vision; for his wise and understanding mother, it stood for tradition in a world of shifting values; for his philistine brother-in-law, it was land ripe for development. For Kim himself, an opter-out from life, it meant little or nothing, until he too discovered the vision.
In the opening chapters we see Kim portrayed as a boy on a fishing holiday in Wales, revealing inner reserves, and during a summer in France allowing himself to be defeated by inner weaknesses. These ambivalences lead to a life of empty frustration in Rome. When he returns home to Larkford, he begins to discover himself, but it takes the odd quirk of a maverick film director to open his eyes to the distinction between illusion and reality.
