I’ve decided that Tuesdays will be a good day to share some books that I have read.
Today’s book is one I just finished a few weeks ago.
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
This book goes back and forth between the main characters childhood during WWII in Seattle and “present” time as an adult, 1986. Henry’s family is from China and they face a lot of discrimination due to the assumption that they are Japanese, he goes to an all white school where he faces more troubles, then he meets Keiko a Japanese girl. Being WWII internment camps are created and the inevitable happens. In present day the story continues as a Seattle hotel is being remodeled and the basement is found to contain personal belongings from Japanese families that stored them there before they were sent to the camps. I found this to be a very touching story and really good read, hope you enjoy it!
