When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka

Historical fiction that explores the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II through the story of one family's reclassification as enemy aliens by the U.S. government.

A chapter in U.S. history that also serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of unfettered authority and the vulnerability of human rights.
