A very touching look at the collective experiences of Japanese women who moved to the USA after WWI right up to their internment. I really enjoyed the narrative style of this book, I thought it did an excellent job of conveying both the collective experiences as well as differentiating the experiences as well. I did have bad dreams about internment camps the night I finished this though! I completely agree with Bookfrogster that the writing style was sublime, beautiful, and poetic.

Journal Entry 7 by wingmeganhwing at Preston, Victoria Australia on Wednesday, January 15, 2020
I really enjoyed this book . Short and easy to read, and no individual characters to become attached to, but a story of young Japanese women who left their homeland to marry Japanese men living in USA with such hope.
I loved the review from the Daily Telegraph "Tender, nuanced ...accumulates small sparks of individual experience and shapes them into a great and moving mass, the distaff equivalent of a war memorial".
