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
读到前两章，感觉作者的笔力还是不够。我感觉到作者很努力地在表达，但是有些需要传达的东西其实并不一定搭配这样的表达……
评分其实文笔还有些稚嫩，但是为了这种平实而细致的意境。为了一点一点渗透的残酷而悲伤。给Yale student。也要打五颗星
评分this is a teen collection, and it is for my english class
评分不懂为啥这本作为summer reading
评分在看这个小说的过程中，我都不知道有多挣扎。我第一次感受到了“中国人”的身份给我的心理带来的巨大影响。
