Book Club

The book for February's meeting will be Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. It's at both ABQ library and the RR library and someone mentioned it was available for cheap at costco. We'll meet on February 18th at 7:30 pm, location TBD. Below I put the synopsis of this book, which I personally enjoyed.

"Jamie Ford's novel Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is deeply informed by an intimate knowledge of Seattle during World War Two, of the tribulations of Asian peoples during the time of Japanese internment, and even of the Seattle jazz scene during that time. His story of an innocent passion across racial barriers -- and then, of the whole life of a man who forsook the girl he loved -- is told with an artistic technique that makes emotion inevitable." Louis B. Jones, author of New York Times Notable Books Ordinary Money, Particles & Luck, and California's Over
