If you loved The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, you’ll enjoy Jamie Ford’s new book. The storyline moves between the Seattle Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909 and the 1962 World’s Fair. It’s the story of Ernest a Chinese boy who was sold by his mother and brought to the US. Ending up as the houseboy in a Seattle brothel, he later marries and has two daughters. If you love Seattle history and the part Asians have played in its growth, this book is for you.
