In the opening pages of Jamie Ford's debut novel, 'Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet,' the protagonist, Henry Lee, finds himself amidst a crowd gathered in front of the Panama Hotel, a long-closed entryway to Seattle's Japanese American neighborhood. The new owner has unearthed the forgotten belongings of Japanese families, relics left behind when they were forcibly removed during World War II. This act of reclaiming history sends Henry back to the 1940s, a time riddled with personal and societal turmoil, as he navigates his identity and relationship with his father amidst war's complexities.

As he attends Rainier Elementary, where he faces prejudice and hardship, Henry forms an innocent bond with Keiko Okabe, a Japanese American classmate. Against a backdrop of curfews and evacuations, their friendship evolves into a poignant love story that defies the prejudice of the time. Years later, Henry, now a widower, embarks on a quest to find Keiko’s belongings, reminding him of promises made and the enduring nature of hope and love.

'Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet' is not just a story of a friendship; it serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the necessity of understanding and forgiveness. Jamie Ford's masterful storytelling brings to light themes of loss, memory, and love that transcend generations. This unforgettable debut invites readers to reflect on their own lives and the history that shapes us all.
