The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka
4.0
A interesting but unconventional book. The entire thing is written in "we" form, i.e. there's not any single narrator or protagonist, but instead the book is written in the voice of the sum total of these women.
Fairly dark most of the time, and especially the first half of the book is incredibly harsh on the husbands with only a few sparkles of light in a sea of abuse and mistreatment.
It's however, despite the dark tone, a short and light book to read; well worth the couple of hours you'll spend reading it.
