TOKYO. — in a. country
where women are taught to
endure for the - sake' of the
family, wives who want to
flee violent husbands have
few places to hide. Short of
divorce, their only protection
is a law which was intended

A New Novel
By JOY KOGAWA
Obasan is a powerful and passionate novel tliat tells,
through the .eyes of a young girl,, the moving story of
the Japanese Canadians during the Second World War.
Naomi Nakane,, a sheltered and beloved child, is only
five years old in 1941 when her mother leaves to visit
relatives in Japan. Then comes Pearl Harbor — and
without warning her gentle world is thrown into un­
imaginable turmoil. Separated from her mother, Naomi
watches bewildered as she and her family become
“enemy aliens,” persecuted and despised in their own
land. Like other Canadian citizens of Japanese origin,
" they are stripped of their rights and possessions, the
men press-ganged, the women and children herded into
concentration camps and dispersed across the country.
“Disarmingly lovely, beautifully structured, it is a
tour de force.”
Quill & Quire

Uncontested
divorce
is
simple. A form is filed at he
locaT administrative office. If
one party disagrees, the case
goes to family court where
the couple meets mediators.
“Usually-one old man and
one
old
woman,”
whose
views about marriage tend-to
be traditional, Mrs. Hamayo­
tsu said. -

In 1979 there were 132,000
divorces — 1.6 couple per
1,000 population.
