Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet - Jamie Ford
On the eve of America’s World War II internment of Japanese residents, 12-year-old Henry Lee meets his first true love, Keiko. She’s the only other Asian at Henry’s elementary school. She’s also Japanese, which lies at the heart of Henry’s subsequent struggles.
The hotel of the book’s title is the real Panama Hotel, and that’s where the story begins, with the basement discovery of what Seattle’s Japanese families left behind when they were sent to the camps.
