CUMBERLAND BOOK CLUB Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Jamie Ford’s first novel is the selection for discussion at 3:30 p.m. May 27. In the opening pages of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Henry Lee comes upon a crowd gathered outside the Panama Hotel, once the gateway to Seattle’s Japantown. It has been boarded up for decades, but now the new owner has made an incredible discovery: the belongings of Japanese families, left when they were rounded up and sent to internment camps during World War II. Set during one of the most conflicted and volatile times in American history, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is an extraordinary story of commitment and enduring hope. In Henry and Keiko, a young Japanese student, Jamie Ford has created an unforgettable duo whose story teaches us of the power of forgiveness and the human heart. The selection for June 24 is The Submission by Amy Waldman. The Cumberland Book Club has no “official” membership list. Anyone who wants to read a chosen book (or just listen to the discussion) may attend any of the meetings on the above Sundays. Cumberland Book Club meets on the fourth Sunday of each month at 3:30 p.m. in the conference room.
