This book is a historical account full of drama and mature wisdom. After the outbreak of World War II, the familiar life of ethnic Japanese in America was shattered. They became enemies of the state. Some of them were arrested, others expelled from the country, still others interned in camps. This is what happens to Otsuka's characters: the father was detained, and the mother and two children were sent to Utah, to a barracks behind barbed wire. But what's next? Will the time of gentle warm days, blue skies, green lawns in front of the porch ever return - the sweet everyday life whose value is realized only when you have lost everything? Turning to her family's past, Julie Otsuka shows with incredible skill how the difficult pages of history are overcome by life itself, which has everything: routine, fear, despair, beauty, and reunion after a long separation.
