About When the Emperor Was Divine

Julie Otsuka's When the Emperor Was Divine (2002) follows a Japanese-American family — a mother, a daughter, and a son — through their internment in the Topaz War Relocation Center during the Second World War and their difficult return to Berkeley afterward. One of the most formally precise novels about Japanese-American internment.
