Buddha in the Attic

The author of this book is from Palo Alto which I thought was neat. I enjoyed learning about picture brides and the Japanese internment camps during WW2 since I had no previous knowledge of that aspect before the presentation. The different aspects of the picture brides were very striking to me. It surprised me when the group mentioned that the husbands were often ten to twenty years older than the bride. I also thought it was interesting that they related this back to online dating since the meeting was not always what they expected out of each other. I liked this presentation because it was very clear about the time and setting of the book.
