 ring"></a>"On a sunny day in Berkeley\, California\, in 1942\, a woman see
 s a sign in a post office window\, returns to her home\, and matter-of-fac
 tly begins to pack her family's possessions. Like thousands of other Japan
 ese Americans they have been reclassified\, virtually overnight\, as enemy
  aliens and are about to be uprooted from their home and sent to a dusty i
 ncarceration camp in the Utah desert. In this lean and devastatingly evoca
 tive first novel\, Julie Otsuka tells their story from five flawlessly rea
 lized points of view and conveys the exact emotional texture of their expe
 rience: the thin-walled barracks and barbed-wire fences\, the omnipresent 
 fear and loneliness\, the unheralded feats of heroism. When the Emperor Wa
 s Divine is a work of enormous power that makes a shameful episode of our 
 history as immediate as today's headlines."-- Provided by the library cata
