About this event
📖 The 5-Hour Book Club — The Buddha in the Attic (2011) by Julie Otsuka
🏆 Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction 🏆 National Book Award Finalist
One voice. Hundreds of lives. A story America tried to forget. Told in a haunting, collective “we,” The Buddha in the Attic follows picture brides brought over from Japan, from their first night in America through years of work, marriage, motherhood, and tragedy.
It’s short, lyrical, and impossible to put down. It’s also one of the most unusual narrative voices you’ll ever read.
Read less. Discover more. ~130 pages | ~2–3 hours
================================== 📖 What is The 5-Hour Book Club? Great sci-fi, fantasy, horror & graphic novels you can finish in five hours or less. Every two weeks, we pick one acclaimed, award-worthy short read.
⏱️ Under 5 hours to read (usually way less) 🙅 Didn't finish? Come anyway.
It's the 5-Hour Book Club, the book club for the discerning (and busy) reader.
