An important perspective + love and loss

Love and loss. A clash of cultures. History and warfare. Generational turmoil. This is a thoughtful and sometime emotional read that really touched some open wounds in my life right now. The story is strong for 3/4 of the book, then weakens a bit towards the end, but I really enjoyed it.

Review of 'Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet' on 'Goodreads'

I was finally able to finish this book sigh. It's been a struggle to finish, but I was unwilling to give up on it. It is a beautiful book. A bit slow paced for me. The history weaved throughout is important to remember and pass down.
