I kind of just skimmed through everyone's comments, so I apologize just in case it was already mentioned. I'm reading this book right now for my Diversity in the U.S class. It's pretty interesting!

Great review, btw, and I plan on checking out this book. Thanks! I was going to recommend Obasan, but I see it’s been mentioned several times already.

SmallWorld - I'll have to look into that one. Thanks. Laura H. - I forgot to mention the fact that I'm letting my kids watch way to much TV lately! Feeling very guilty . . . Jenn M. - If there was something in the water here in Utah, I'd be able to read, blog, shower, and clean the house! As it is right now, I'm lucky to get the shower in! Tanabata - I'd never heard of When the Emperor was Divine until I picked it up a couple of months ago. I'm glad I didn't let it sit in the TBR for years! Kim - I'll have to look into Tallgrass as well. It's interesting to read these books that took place in Topaz because it's so much of our local history. The book mentioned Ogden, Provo, Spanish Fork, Salt Lake, etc. It definitely helps with the visualization.

It's another of the many books I have on my TBR list and now I'll have to add a few more. I haven’t read it yet but I’ve heard that Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas is good.

I agree with you that the movie was also great! A short one on life in the internment camps that I read earlier this year is Farewell to Manzanar. I've had When the Emperor Was Divine in my TBR piles for years! One of these days I need to just read it! I’d second Obasan and Snow Falling on Cedars but I see you’ve read SFOC.

My kids are at school most of the day and I can't seem to get nearly as much done as she can. Maybe there is something special in the water out there in Utah. :) Laura H….she needs to slow down….she’s making us look bad!
