Description: The Strangeness of Beauty by Lydia Minatoya. 1999 Hardcover. "From an award-winning author comes a searing tale of three generations of women, Japanese and American, whose strained reunion in Kobe on the brink of World War II challenges the identity, spirit, and capacity for love of each of them." Etsuko Sone travels from Seattle to the home of her samurai mother in Kobe. "Told with a social scientist's feel for cultural, historical and familial confusions and a poet's ear and eye...it is a triumphant love story, a celebration of the capacity for transcendence that exists in every one of us." The book itself is in very good condition. The dust jacket has minor scuff marks on the back (please see photos) and the top of the spine is scuffed. Otherwise, the book is entirely intact and without markings of any kind.
