The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka

3.0

interesting take on Japanese immigrants. It is taken from the prospective of the women brought over as brides. I like that it was not one story, but the story of the whole group. It got a bit tedious with all the listing of this person and that. Many unnamed people's lives rattled off at each important moment of life (marriage, moving, child birth, the eventual round up). I would say it was unfocused, but I think that was the point.
