This book is a historical testimony, full of drama and mature wisdom. After the beginning of the Second World War, the familiar life of ethnic Japanese in America was destroyed. They were turned into enemies of the state. Some of them were arrested, others were deported from the country, and others were interned in camps. The same fate befalls the heroes of the Otsuka family: the father is detained, while the mother and two children are sent to Utah, to a barrack behind barbed wire. But what comes next? Will the time of tender warm days, blue skies, green meadows in front of the porch ever return? The value of the sweet everyday life is only realized when you have lost everything. Turning to her family's past, Julie Otsuka incredibly demonstrates how the heavy pages of history are overcome by life itself, which contains everything: routine, fear, despair, beauty, and reunion after a long separation.
