City of Eternal Spring chronicles Weaver's travels abroad in Taiwan and China, as well as showing the limits of cultural influence." -- Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Weaver Checked In Add Copy to MyList
