5.0

I read [b:The Swimmers|58214333|The Swimmers|Julie Otsuka|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1638151704l/58214333._SX50_.jpg|91253728]. Loved it, and thought I should read Otsuka's award winning novel next. To say I loved The Buddha in the Attic is an understatement. Otsuka's voice is incredible. It's unique and honest. One of the best historical fiction novels I've ever read. Japanese Americans have suffered in America for generations. Otsuka tells their story through poetic verse.
