The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka

emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

Beautiful and relentlessly painful. Unique, and poignant and very much worth the read. Took me 6 months to get through 130 ish pages though. It’s not an easy read.
