Tavan Arasindaki Buda

Julie Otsuka's novel tells the story of Japanese picture brides who journey to America in the early 20th century, leaving behind their families and traditions for an unknown future. Through a collective 'we' voice, the book explores their experiences of hope, hardship, and the gradual erosion of their identities as they strive to adapt to a new culture. It is a poignant examination of immigration, memory, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of a better life.
