Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet Chapter 14 Summary

The Basement (1986)

  • Henry goes down the creaky stairs and into the basement, where there is a ton of old stuff to go through. Nothing looks familiar yet, but Henry knows he'll have to sort through quite a bit of stuff before he finds anything that might potentially belong to Keiko.
  • He looks through some suitcases and finds lots of pictures of Japanese people that he doesn't recognize. When he brings up one of the photo album pages up to his face, though, he finds that it smells like smoke. And he knows where that came from.
