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 i
n 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 upro
oted from their home and sent to a dusty internment camp in the Utah desert.
