It is four months after Pearl Harbour and overnight signs appear all over the
United States instructing Japanese Americans to report to internment camps for
the duration of the war. For one family it proves to be a nightmare of
oppression and alienation. Explored from varying points of view - the mother
receiving the order to evacuate; the daughter on the long train journey; the son
in the desert encampment; the family's return home; and the bitter release of
their father after four years in captivity - it tells of an incarceration that
will alter their lives for ever.
Based on a true story, Julie Otsuka's powerful, deeply humane novel tells of an
unjustly forgotten episode in America's wartime history.
