Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
The Panama Hotel in Seattle has been boarded up for decades, but the new owner has made a startling discovery in the basement: belongings stored by Japanese families sent to interment camps during the Second World War. As Henry Lee stands in the crowd he wonders if a link still exists to the girl he lost his young heart to, so many years ago.
