Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
by Jamie Ford
Description
In the heart of World War II Seattle, amidst the vibrant ethnic enclaves and the shadows of internment, a young Chinese American boy named Henry Lee navigates a world forever changed. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Keiko Okabe, a Japanese American girl who becomes his first love and his closest confidante. Their burgeoning friendship, a beacon of hope in a time of prejudice and separation, is tested by the cruel realities of war and the forced relocation of Japanese Americans. Decades later, as a widower, Henry revisits the memories of his past, seeking to understand the profound impact Keiko had on his life and the enduring power of their connection.
