A review by klparmley
The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
4.0
If Walt Whitman had been female writing about Japanese Americans at the beginning of the 20th century, this would have been that book.
It was an interesting read. This is no protagonist. It is truly plural. All the way through. Try the "peek inside" and choose whether you want to read the whole book.
I nearly quit twice, but found myself drawn back to the story in spite of the peculiar form. It is a sad story, but a good book. Well worth reading.
