Publisher Notes
The narrator learns about the experiences of her grandmother, Obasan, who was among those Japanese Canadians relocated to internment camps at the beginning of World War II.
Media Reviews
"'Obasan' is a very moving vision of an affront to democratic principles...a tour de force, a deeply felt novel, brilliantly poetic in its sensibility."
