His sophisticated Japanese-French wife and their two eldest children, Yumi and Yoko, are headed to Boston, though one daughter's revelation will soon re-route them to Paris. 2039: Kiko, their youngest daughter and aspiring actress, decides to pursue fame at any cost, like her icon Marilyn Monroe. 2038: Yumi comes to Yoko in need, after a college-dorm situation at Harvard goes disastrously wrong."-- book jacket.
