In eight incantatory sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the picture brides' extraordinary lives, from their arduous journey by boat, where they exchange photographs of their husbands, imagining uncertain futures in an unknown land; to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; to their backbreaking work picking fruit in the fields and scrubbing the floors of white women; to their struggles to master a new language and a new culture; to their experiences in childbirth, and then as mothers, raising children who will ultimately reject their heritage and their history; to the deracinating arrival of war. 650 0 $a Mail order brides $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Japanese $z California $v Fiction. 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Quan, Samantha. $4 nrt 700 1 $a MacDuffie, Carrington, $d 1958- $4 nrt 710 2 $a Random House (Firm) 710 2 $a Random House Audio Publishing. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204043231.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110025415.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8593E5E0F5711E1B7DD26B56AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
