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.

最后一片大论文花落此家。A lost Generation—the Second Generation Japanese American in Julie Otsuka's Novel. 考完试把论文翻译出来喵。
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They can never go back, even they go back to their old house. But life will keep going anyway.
评分短句，一点点加深场景的轮廓。我感触最深的不是他们被关在camp里的那三年，而是返回家园重新融入社会的日子。在学校，小孩子们往昔的朋友全都没有了，妈妈也很难找到工作，被FBI抓走的父亲回家完全变成了一位他们认不出来的老人。不知道是什么原因被抓走，又被放回，可是生活是融入不了了，都变了。他们的确是回家了，但他们也的确回不去了。
评分this is a teen collection, and it is for my english class
