Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet Read-Along: Part Fifteen

Part 15:   Catch up and Review

We made it!  We read the entire novel in less than 15 days.  I hope you enjoyed the novel as much as we did.  This is really a novel that touches the reader.  It talks about relationships, regrets, and memories.
 
Discussion:

  1. What did you think of the father-son relationships in the novel?

  2. Do you think Ethel knew anything about what was happening to Keiko and Henry's letters?

  3. What do you think will happen next for Henry?

  4. Henry obviously had some regrets about his life, and his relationship with Keiko.  I think we all eventually come to regret some choices we have made whether they are small or large like Henry's.  Sometimes we can accept those choices, but some leave us longing to go back and see how things could be different.  Do you have anything you wish you could go back and change?

  5. What was your favorite part of the novel?

  6. Was there any particular part of the novel you wanted to discuss?
