Fishing for Stars

Bryce Courtney's "Fishing for Stars" is an excellent sequel to "The Persimmon Tree".  Narrator Nick Duncan is caught in a love triangle between "Princess Plunder and "Green Bitch" during the post war era up to modern times.  Throughout the pages of this volume we find the economies of making millions mixed in with Japan's version of the mafia, pitted against the beginnings of the Green Revolution and the fight to save the planet.  All-in-all, an excellent read.
