hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet

i just finished the book "hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet," by jamie ford. it is a historical fiction novel centered around the seattle international district and the japanese internment during world war II. it was a fun read and interesting to learn more about how the japanese in the northwest were affected by the war. my mom read it and based on her suggestion, i decided to read it. i am glad that i did. despite the subject matter, i actually felt like it was a pretty light read, which i was in the mood for. i have a few more things that i could say about the book, but i don't really want to give it away.
