Henry Lee is a 12-year-old Chinese boy who falls in love with Keiko Okabe, a 12-year-old Japanese girl, while they are scholarship students at a prestigious private school in World War II Seattle. Henry hides the relationship from his parents, who would disown him if they knew he had a Japanese friend. His father insists that Henry wear an "I am Chinese" button everywhere he goes because Japanese residents of Seattle have begun to be shipped off by the thousands to relocation centers. This is an old-fashioned historical novel that alternates between the early 1940s and 1984, after Henry's wife Ethel has died of cancer. A particularly appealing aspect of the story is young Henry's fascination with jazz and his friendship with Sheldon, an older black saxophonist just making a name for himself in the many jazz venues near Henry's home. Other aspects of the story are more typical of the genre: the bullies that plague Henry, his lack of connection with his father, and later with his own son. Readers will care about Henry as he is forced to make decisions and accept circumstances that separate him from both his family and the love of his life. While the novel is less perfect as literature than John Hamamura's Color of the Sea (Thomas Dunne, 2006), the setting and quietly moving, romantic story are commendable.—Angela Carstensen, Convent of the Sacred Heart, New York City
具体描述
读后感
这几天看完了《悲喜边缘的旅馆》，这一本是在非常偶然的情况下从图书馆的书架上选择而来的，就像遇到了一段神奇的缘分。 书名文艺首先就脱离不了，而后翻开扉页时，读起来并不生硬的翻译，以及看到作者自己本身就是半个中国人时，就更加想要去看完它。 在前言里，其中打动自己...
评分我一辈子走过许多地方的路，行过许多地方的桥，看过许多次数的云，喝过许多种类的酒，却只爱过一个正当最好年龄的人。 亨利和惠子的故事，大致如此吧 一场战争影响了很多人的生活，很多人的生活轨迹也发生了变化。 那些相遇和分开的背后，是温情，是儿时的怦然心动，深刻动人。

用户评价
一年前读过，记忆犹新。好喜欢这本书的整体基调，故事情节，和作者的文笔。很感动，也很压抑，读完之后心里沉甸甸的。
评分Boring
评分Henry 和Keiko 两个人在当时的背景下，小心翼翼地相处，让人看到早期一代华人和日裔在美国生活的不容易。
评分还满喜欢这种过去现在双股线交错的叙述结构，故事不错，应该很适合拍成纯爱电影，哈。
评分Boring
