When the Emperor Was Divine | Julie Otsuka

pick

A slim novel that packs a punch, this is about a Japanese family in the US who is forced into an internment camp during WWII. Each chapter tells the story from the point of view of a different family member: mother, father, daugher, son. It's a sobering look at a dark time in our nation's history--and a warning for our nation's current political rhetoric.

BookishTrish I really loved this book years ago when I read it #mustreread 5y

Zelma This book is one of my favorites and turned Julie Otsuka into an auto-buy author for me. Definitely read her next one

The Buddha in the Attic

Amiable @Zelma I have read that one--I liked it even better than this one! 👍🏼 5y

#ReadingResolutions Day 28: This is a #MustReread for me. I bought a new version of Whitman‘s poetry which consumed me in my 20s.

Saturday | Ian McEwan

Okay I have a huge tbr but that doesn't mean there aren't books that I must re-read soon! Here are a few of mine - what are yours? #MustReRead

quietlycuriouskate Off the top of my head... "Rebecca" (again!) and I'm surely due for another Dostoevsky re-read. 7y

quietlycuriouskate By the way, I put a penpal letter in the post to you earlier. 📝 7y

Balibee146 @River_Voice good call I need to read that again. Yay thanks for the letter, I was just about to write but will wait until I receive yours. Thank you :-) 7y
