The title for this month is The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka.
This story traces the lives of Japanese mail-order brides from their arduous journey by boat to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives, to the back breaking work picking fruit and scrubbing floors of white women, to their struggles to master a new language and raise their own children who ultimately reject their heritage and history.
