This month we read The Buddha in the Attic, an interesting book written with a different perspective. Rather than focus on one story and one set of characters, the author writes in general about a group of people - a group of Japanese women who came to America for arranged marriages. The story follows the lives of these women throughout the hardships they face in America, leading up to World War II and the Japanese internment camps. Most of us liked the story although some found the 'group' writing style to be confusing and would have preferred more focus.
We met at Fuji Sushi in Centerville and found their bento boxes and their sushi to be quite yummy.
