Helpful Score: 1
This was the June 2013 pick in my neighborhood book club, and we all enjoyed it.
It interweaves Henry Lee's life from 1942 and 1986 in a very fluid way, although the story tended to drag through the middle.
Henry and his first love, Keiko, bonded deeply back in 1942 as the only two Asian kids at an all-white Seattle school, and although heritage and war send their lives down separate paths, their bond is never broken; and it makes for a sweet, well-written and educational story. I give it a solid B.
