June Book Club Pick

After reading the review of Julie Otsuka's latest book I now want to dive right into both her books. "The Buddha in the Attic" takes you on a journey that begins in Japan and ends in America with young, beautiful girls coming to meet the men the have promised to marry. The only thing they have is a photo of the man, steeping off the boat they have no idea who this man might be.

The novel is a follow up to her novel "When the Emporer was Devine". "In this lean and devastatingly evocative first novel, Julie Otsuka tells the story of one Japanese American family from five flawlessly realized points of view—the mother receiving the order to evacuate; the daughter on the long train ride to the camp; the son in the desert encampment; the family’s return to their home; and the bitter release of the father after almost four years in captivity. "

Julie's Book "The Buddha in the Attic" is The Bookstore's latest Book Club pick. The meeting is Tuesday June 5th at 7:30 pm, see you there!

Next Month's Pick is: The Cove by Ron Rash Review Here.
