This debut novel set in Seattle, tells the story of two youngsters, a Chinese American boy, and a Japanese American girl who meet in 1942 and suffer the disapproval of his family and the internment of her's during those dark days of World War II in this country. Forty years later, Henry Lee searches from traces of his first love in a recently discovered cache of left behind belongings found in the basement of a Japanese American hotel.
Having visited Manzanar several years ago, and read Farewell to Manzanar, I found the subject matter engaging and poignant.
