ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford is a moving tale set in Seattle during World War II. The story centers on Henry Lee, a Chinese American boy, and his forbidden friendship with Keiko Okabe, a Japanese American girl. As war breaks out, racial tensions escalate, and Keiko and her family, along with thousands of other Japanese Americans, are forced into internment camps. Henry, torn between his loyalty to Keiko and his family's anxieties, struggles with his identity and place in a society consumed by prejudice. The story explores the themes of love, loss, and the enduring impact of historical injustices on individual lives. Through Henry's journey, we witness the power of human connection in a time of social upheaval and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
