ISBN:  160945670X (paperback) 9781609456702 (paperback) Description:  430 pages; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  It tells the story of three women: the thirty-year-old unmarried narrator, her older sister Makiko, and Makiko's daughter Midoriko. Unable to come to terms with her changed body after giving birth, Makiko becomes obsessed with the prospect of getting breast enhancement surgery. Meanwhile, her twelve-year-old daughter Midoriko is paralyzed by the fear of her oncoming puberty and finds herself unable to voice the vague, yet overwhelming anxieties associated with growing up. The narrator, who remains unnamed for most of the story, struggles with her own indeterminable identity of being neither a "daughter" nor a "mother." Set over three stiflingly hot days in Tokyo, the book tells of a reunion of sorts, between two sisters, and the passage into womanhood of young Midoriko.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Kawakami (pbk) Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Kawakami   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Kawakami   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Kawakami   Checked out 10/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Kawakami   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
