The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka

5.0

Truly no complaints about this book. It was perfect for what it was.
Had it been longer, the lack of plot line and focus on descriptions may have felt repetitive. It didn’t. The underlying circumstances that are only touched directly on in this book come ALIVE with the descriptions of how many ways this affected different people.
I adored the use of first person plural because it immediately illustrated how many differences there are within any groups. No group is a monolith.
Absolutely fantastic.

And it took me less than 3 hours to listen to on 1.5x speed. Perfect use of time.
