Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie FordMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bitter and sweet in history. So little is known about the Japanese internment in WWII, yet Ford has brought that bitter time of discrimination to light in the midst of the sweetest Romeo-and-Luliet love story. Henry and Keiko become friends but Henry is Chinese with a father who dispises everything Japanese and Keiko is Japanese. Befriending them both and befriended by them is Sheldon, a wise Seattle street Jazz player. The characters are rich in detail, tender and human. Best book of the season!
