The Buddha in the Attic by

Julie Otsuka

Reviews

"Daring... Frequently mesmerizing... Otsuka has the moves of cinematographer, zooming in for close-ups, then pulling back for wide lens group shots... [Otsuka is] a master of understatement and apt detail... Her stories seem rooted in curiosity and a desire to understand."

Bookpage

Summary

In eight unforgettable sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of these women, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war.

Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times.

A National Bestseller.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
