This is our book club read for February and I have it here somewhere with me while I am on vacation. Looking forward to reading this.

I have this book in my TBR pile. I love stories about Asian culture and, well, yes, any culture. I think it probably is a predictable read and is mostly there for the historical awareness and the tug at the heartstrings between a sweet love and the bitter reality that is life. And isn’t so much of love a tug between the sweet and the bitter?

I recently read and reviewed this book as well and I loved it! Yes, it’s a sweet story, but I’m a sucker for them! I thought it was great!

Sounds like this book may not live up to the high expectations that I have for it (which exist only because it talks about Japan)

I am just in love with the cover for this book. And I do think it is so cool to read about things in your own city that you’ve actually been to. There is a certain thrill to that, isn’t there?

I love House of Hong! Thanks for the review – I didn’t realize this was a Seattle book. Have seen it a lot recently but the title seemed a little “sweet” for my taste.

Great review. I love reading books that take place near home, especially if they’re well written.
