Emperor Was Divine was shortlisted for the 2011 National Book Award
for Fiction and the 2011 Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and winner
of the Pen Faulkner Award for Fiction 2012. Between the first and
second world wars a group of young, non-English-speaking Japanese
women travelled by boat to America. They were picture brides,
clutching photos of husbands-to-be whom they had yet to meet.Julie

spellbinding and poetic account of strangers lost and alone in a
new and deeply foreign land. 'Sweeping, symphonic, empathic .
.&,nbsp,. subtle, infinitely skilful . .&,nbsp,. an
exhilarating, compulsive read. Otsuka's haunting, heartbreaking
conclusion, in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, is faultless' Daily

consolations of a whole generation of women .&,nbsp,. . the
distaff equivalent of a war memorial' Daily Telegraph'A haunting
and heartbreaking look at the immigrant experience .&,nbsp,. .

understated masterpiece...she conjures up the lost voices of a
