Okay so I've been reading a lot of tudor era books lately and royalty, so now I am trying to change it up. I am currently reading at the moment a biography about Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and it is going fast. So I am going to need a new book soon, and I have a few audible credits, and I am thinking I want to read something that goes over the experiences of Japanese-Internment camps during WWII. Please note this is different then POW (prisoner of war) Camps.
I have some preferences. I want the book to have a good narrator, I would prefer it to be through the perspective of a woman, and non-ficton: however, I will read fiction if it is diary style format. Do you guys have any good reccomendations?

Farewell to Manzanar is what they made us read in high school, and as with most literature from high school, I remember basics but no details and definitely no details about style. I think George Takei has a memoire out about his childhood in the internment camps too, and if he reads his own book, that would be really beautiful.
