This sweet story of love and forgery set at the Seattle Exposition was superb. The culture of Japan was beautifully displayed. I cherished the romance between Lee (a policeman) and May (an artist). That May was half white, half Japanese (and the racism and prejudice of the era) was a main theme of the story, and I loved how the author approached this. May was my favorite character for how she treasured the culture of both parents and had a heart bent toward learning more about the heritage with which she was less familiar. Beautiful!
