I read quite a bit of historical fiction that has to do with WWII, but I realized that most of it focuses on the European front. This one gives you a look into the Japanese Internment camps that were set up in the western US.
I thought this was so sweet! It had a slow start that took me a while to grasp, but once you get to the Romeo and Juliet- esque relationship (without the terrible ending) it is so worth it. I always love when there are secondary characters that fill in the gaps in the main character’s life. Mrs. Beatty was an unassuming hero in this novel and I grew to love her and what she did for Henry. Sheldon was just *chef’s kiss*. I would definitely recommend this book!
