Description
In this imaginative eighth novel, Tom Robbins weaves together the threads of American history and Japanese mythology into a captivating tapestry of mystery and intrigue. The story explores the hidden lives of American MIAs who deliberately chose to remain missing after the Vietnam War, while simultaneously tracing the enigmatic connection between four generations of remarkable women and a mysterious figure from Japanese folklore. Robbins crafts a narrative that transcends time, blending the mythic and the contemporary with his signature wit and philosophical depth. The novel examines themes of identity, choice, and the consequences of stepping outside conventional society, all while maintaining the author's distinctive voice and narrative flair. A beautifully constructed work that reads like timeless myth yet speaks directly to modern concerns about war, displacement, and the search for meaning.
