Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
Reviewed by Diane Marsh.
This is a sweet and simple love story as well as a historical novel that tells of the experience of the Japanese interment in America during World War II. It is set in Seattle and the story beings in 1986 with the discovery of relics stored in the basement of the Panama Hotel by American citizens of Japanese heritage. These treasures lead Henry Lee, a Chinese American whose best childhood friend was Japanese, to reminisce about that time in flashbacks to the 1940s.
