The debut novel from the PEN/Faulkner Award Winning Author of The Buddha in the Attic 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 internment 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.Binding Type: Paperback

A great umbrella $$$
Color: Lime, Color: Lime
I have navy blue with accents of this lime green for a pop of color , this is replacing my umbrella that just broke because I left it up in the wind. This is 10 foot, it tilts easily, the material feels strong and it went together easily. I love it. Definitely would recommend for the price, if it lasted a couple of years I’ve got my moneys worth, I have bought more expensive ones and the canvas still gets destroyed by the sun.. I’ll just buy a new one. Highly recommend!
