Ford’s first novel alternates between the 1940s and 1986 in Seattle, recounting Henry Lee’s wartime adolescence and affection for a Japanese girl, and his later loss of his wife to cancer. Lee’s first love, already complicated by the war, encountered further difficulties with Lee’s  Chinese father’s hatred for the Japanese, and these public and private tensions spiral through Lee’s later life.
