When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka Book Summary

From the bestselling, award-winning author of The Buddha in the Attic and The Swimmers, this commanding debut novel paints a portrait of the Japanese American incarceration camps that is both a haunting evocation of a family in wartime and a resonant lesson for our times.

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 incarceration 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.

When the Emperor was Divine. The book was ight.

Perfection.. Absolutely phenomenal.

Superb. A wonderful read, the writing is spare and poetic... a deeply personal insight into the Japanese internment during WW2... I think it’s going to be in my 9th grade curriculum next school year.

Great book!!!. This book is amazing. Kept me interested and wanting more every time I turned the page! Very descriptive and accurate. A must read!

A poignant novel of an American tragedy. A poignant novel that tells of an American family that was split up as a result of America’s regrettable and shameful decision to forcibly imprison American citizens of Japanese ancestry during WW2. The story is told through the eyes of a young brother and sister from Berkeley interned with their mother for 3 1/2 years in a Utah internment camp, while their father was being held in a New Mexico camp.
