Buddha In The Attic by Julie Otsuka
5/5
‘You will see, woman are weak but mothers are strong’
I absolutely loved this backlist gem by Julie Otsuka. It is told in first person plural and tells the story of Japanese women sold as mail order brides in the 1900’s and all the way through to being taken to the Japanese internment camps during WWII.
I listened to this short audio book (only 4 hours) in one day and recommend you read the book in that format The prose is particularly lyrical as the chorus of women each provide their experiences and the audio book enhances the narration.
