First Edition, Secker and Warburg, 2003, Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap  - Memoirs / Fiction  - 402pp.

This remarkable book is also the narrative of the seminal years in which Kingston rebuilds her life following a devastating fire, which destroyed all her possessions including her novel The Fourth Book of Peace, and the death of her father. Her real and imagined narrative enrich one another as Kingston weaves together fact, fiction and memory in a powerfully emotional book.

The Fifth Book of Peace, Kingston describes the history of all the lost books of peace - both the three that figure in Chinese mythology, which scholars and laymen have searched for, hoping to find in them the antidote to The Art of War, and her own book, lost in the flames.

Divided into four sections - 'Fire', 'Paper', 'Water' and 'Earth' - this book is neither fiction nor autobiography nor memoir, but a unique form of Chinese 'talk-story' in which real and imagined worlds intrude upon and enrich one another.

From the anti-war protests in Hawaii to Kingston's own conversations with Vietnam veterans, the author takes us inside the hearts and minds of a host of characters, not least of whom is her own Mama, the veteran woman warrior Brave

Orchid, who watches over her in the years of rebuilding following the fire and her father's death.
