Girl in Translation ~ Jean Kwok
posted for bas bleu...

I recently read one of the library's new novels, Girl in Translation, by Jean Kwok, and really fell in love with it. I had intended to write a five-star review, but happened upon this youtube video of the author discussing the book and her motivation for writing it.  She speaks so movingly and eloquently that I am certain other readers will want to read the book after watching the video.

The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, another book I recently read and enjoyed, also speaks to the immigrant experience. Part of the novel is written with flashbacks to WW II and details the Japanese-American experience on the West Coast at that time.
