Buddha in the Attic

Buddha in the Attic

by Julie Otsuka

2012

This novel chronicles the journey of young Japanese women who traveled to America a century ago to marry men they’d only seen in photographs. Told from a collective “we,” the story captures their hopes, the harsh realities of their new lives, and the struggles of raising children caught between two cultures during a time of war. It's a moving and beautifully written exploration of identity, resilience, and the immigrant experience, perfect for readers who appreciate lyrical prose and powerful historical fiction.
