THE BUDDHA IN THE ATTIC

Book ID/图书代码： 12844010B42886

English Summary/英文概要： A novel of arresting beauty that tells the story of a group of women brought from Japan to San Francisco in the early 1900s as mail order brides. It ends where Otsuka’s book,When the Emperor was Divine begins, fleshing out the pre-history of that bestselling debut.

In six incantatory sections, the novel traces the these women’s new lives as ‘picture brides’: the arduous voyage by boat, where the girls trade photos of their husbands and imagine their futures in an unknown land…their arrival in San Francisco and the tremulous first nights with their new husbands…backbreaking toil as migrant workers in the fields and in the homes of white women… their struggles to learn a new language and culture; their experiences in childbirth; and finally, the arrival of war, and the moment they come to be viewed as traitors.

Once again Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部捕捉美丽的小说，讲述了一个组从日本带来的妇女在20世纪初作为旧金山邮购新娘的故事。这本书终结了她的《当皇帝是神圣的开始》，充实畅销登场的史前。

在六个咒语章节，小说追溯了这些妇作为“图片新娘”的新生活：艰苦的乘船旅行，那里的女孩交换自己的丈夫的照片和想象他们在一个未知的土地的未来生活……他们抵达旧金山，和他们的新丈夫度过颤栗的第一晚……作为移民工人在农场和白人妇女家里从事繁重的体力劳动……他们为学习新的语言和文化进行的奋斗; 她们的分娩的经历;以及最后战争的到来，以及她们被视为叛国者的时刻。

朱莉•大冢再次写出了一本关于人性和忠诚的引人入胜的小说。也写出了迷惘年代作为一个美国人意味着什么。(LNL)

’Otsuka masterfully creates a chorus of unforgettable voices that echo throughout the chambers of this slim but commanding novel, speaking of a time that no American should ever forget.’--Minneapolis StarTribune

’Throughout, Otsuka’s incantatory chorus works to trancelike effect, yet the subtle, infinitely skilful shifts of rhythm, mood and tempo make this an exhilarating, compulsive read.’--The Daily Mail

’In her acclaimed When the Emperor was Divine begins, Otsuke Wrought third-person narratives of a northern California Japanese family facing internment and alienation during World War II. Now she gives us a luminous second novel (...). Otsuka works an enchantment upon her readers- no Sturm und Grang here- and leaves us haunted and astonished at the powers of her subtlety and charms. VERDICT: Unforgettable and essential both for readers and writers.’--Library Journal

’Julie Otsuka’s THE BUDDHA IN THE ATTIC is a wonderful, mellow, seamless tale of first-generation Japanese immigrants to America.’--The Guardian
