In eight sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of the young Japanese women of nearly a century ago, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war.
