A brilliant debut from author Jamie Ford of a bitter sweet love story between a young Chinese man, Henry and the love of his life, Japanese-American, Keiko during World War 11, at an unfortunate time when Japanese-American families were shuffled off to internment camps. This unforgettable gem of a story explores the age-old conflict between fathers and sons, the discovery and loss of first-love and the incredible power of the human heart. Jamie Ford simply knocked it out of the ballpark. I loved this book!
