Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet


Wow, what a great book. Mom and dad both read this, so I decided to read it. It was a really interesting story about a young Chinese boy and a Japanese girl that become friends during World War II. I always thought that the Japanese internment camps seemed so terrible, but I'd never thought about the relationships between other Asian groups of people. I was also unaware of the differences between Chinese and Japanese at the time - they were also at war (and had been for many years.) This was a really sweet story. I would absolutely recommend it.
