Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Jamie Ford

This was wonderful! The story of Seattle during the World War Two written from the perspective of a Chinese boy who falls in love with a Japanese girl. It is the story of war, race relationships, the internment of the Japanese, forgiveness, and it has a happy ending. This would be great for a book club. I didn't realize until the end that there was one black character in the book, a jazz musician, and only one white character-the lunch lady, who helped the boy find his girl in the relocation centers. The story was what mattered.
