Hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet [kit] : a novel by Jamie Ford When artifacts from Japanese families sent to internment camps during World War ll are uncovered during removations at a Seattle hotel, Henry Lee embarks on a quest that leads to memories of growing up Chinese in a city rife with anti-Japanese sentiment. A story of childhood friendship, innocent love and father son relationships, this will lead to a rich discussion and review of the history of this period.
