Publisher's Summary
Sarah Bird authors brilliant, introspective novels of bittersweet reminiscence
tempered with humor. The Yokota Officers Club is a tale both courageous
and touching - a journey of the heart that speaks volumes of the transient,
isolated lifestyle of military families. Having grown up at the Yokota
Air Base in Japan, and having moved six times in the last eight years,
Bernadette "Bernie" Root and her five siblings are quintessential military
life at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa after her first year away at college.
Although her attitudes toward the military have changed, Bernie is beginning
to realize the intense bonds she shares with her unusual family.
What the Critics Say
"Stories nestle inside stories like a set of Russian dolls in Bird's
wonderful fifth novel....Bird has David Sedaris's gift for mining scathing
wit from family dysfunction." (Publishers Weekly)
