I would love to read this book. I've talked to a man who lived in one of the internment camps but not to any of the women!

I really enjoyed this book also. I was initially leery of the collective voice but it proved to be very powerful and just the thing for this story I think. This is a book I would reread so will have to purchase it as I read a library copy. Very nice review, and an interesting way of doing it.
Glad to hear your endorsement of When the Emperor was Divine too, I shall get to it soon.
