ISBN: 0553803328
New York, NY: Bantam Books, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. "Imagine that there are American MIAs who chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War. Imagine that there is a family in which four generations of strong, alluring women have shared a mysterious connection to an outlandish figure from Japanese folklore. Imagine just those things (don't even try to imagine the love story) and you'll have a foretaste of Tom Robbins's eighth and perhaps most beautifully crafted novel- a work as timeless as myth yet as topical as the latest international threat."
