The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka

“we never would have come to America to do the work that no self-respecting American would do”
This book is about young women brought from Japan to SF who were deceived into thinking they married rich husbands only to spend decades exploited in the fields. It’s sad to see how their entire existence gets erased overnight.
I’m not very knowledgeable on this subject but i liked how this book gave a voice to these women who never got to tell their stories.
