The debut novel from the PEN/Faulkner Award Winning Author of The Buddha in the Attic
On a sunny day in Berkeley, California, in 1942, a woman sees a sign in a post office window, returns to her home, and matter-of-factly begins to pack her family's possessions. Like thousands of other Japanese Americans they have been reclassified, virtually overnight, as enemy aliens and are about to be uprooted from their home and sent to a dusty internment camp in the Utah desert.
In this lean and devastatingly evocative first novel, Julie Otsuka tells their story from five flawlessly realized points of view and conveys the exact emotional texture of their experience: the thin-walled barracks and barbed-wire fences, the omnipresent fear and loneliness, the unheralded feats of heroism. When the Emperor Was Divine is a work of enormous power that makes a shameful episode of our history as immediate as today's headlines.

用户评价
This novel changed my mind about Japanese.
评分喜欢作者的叙述方法。感觉明明发生很大的变化却用很细腻的文字体现出来。剧情不太吸引我… 听说是美高reading list中的书
评分只能回到过去看过去，而不能站在现在看过去。战争就是战争。有些片段看着来气。不同情。
评分This novel changed my mind about Japanese.
评分不懂为啥这本作为summer reading
