Krátky popis
Longlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction, When the Emperor Was
Divine is the critically acclaimed debut novel by bestselling
writer Julie Otsuka - author of The Buddha in the Attic - in which
she explores the lives of Japanese immigrants living in America
during the Second World War. It is four months after Pearl Harbour
and overnight signs appear all over the United States instructing
Japanese Americans to report to internment camps for the duration
of the war. For one family it proves to be a nightmare of
oppression and alienation.Explored from varying points of view -
the mother receiving the order to evacuate, the daughter on the
long train journey, the son in the desert encampment, the family's
return home, and the bitter release of their father after four
years in captivity - it tells of an incarceration that will alter
their lives for ever. Based on a true story, Julie Otsuka's
powerful, deeply humane novel tells of an unjustly forgotten
episode in America's wartime history. 'Honest and gloriously
written, will haunt you long after you've turned the final
page.Brilliant' Elle'An intense jewel of a book written with
