Deerfield Public Library Book Discussion - THE BUDDHA IN THE ATTIC by Julie Otsuka

Follow the journey of eight "picture brides" who travel by boat from Japan to San Francisco to meet the Japanese workers they have agreed to marry.  Their stories of hope, family, culture, and compromise span from the early 20th century to the time of Japanese internment during World War II.

Thanks to our friends at Barnes & Noble, the Library is able to keep its popular book discussions going while operating our of its smaller temporary home at 7 N. Waukegan Road.
