Staying Together


The first book I read for the reading class is "Staying Together".  I borrowed it from the library in my college.

 

The story is sort of love story… Ikuko goes to England to study promising to return to Japan to get married. However, in Birmingham, Ikuko not only discovers another way of life also a great deal about herself. This is a powerful story about a love that is carried across three continents and even time it self…

 

I was attracted by the phrase: a love that is carried across three continents and even time itself… How romantic it is!! That’s why I chose this book.

 

Before I read the book and while I was reading it, I was very excited. However I’ve finished reading, I felt sad. This story made me think about the harsh realities of life. It taught me it is difficult to continue loving only one person forever, and environment and time change our mind.



On the other hand, it also taught me all encounters are connected beyond time and space. I’ll treasure encounters one by one whether it is good or not.
