Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

I had read a review on this book by Jamie Ford that sounded very intriguing.  I checked it out from the local library and just finished reading it.


The story centers on a Chinese man named Henry Lee and travels from the present day back 40 years to when Japanese americans were rounded up and sent to internment camps. 


The setting is in Seattle with local destinations.  It is about friendship, love, devotion, loyalty, and redemption.  It highlights what the definition of being an American is.


It was a very easy read and takes you back to a shameful time in American history but told through people instead of events.
