Staying Together (Book Club 3)


This book is written in a very simple style. The words selection is limited. It is Easy to understand. It’s about a young Japanese couple (Ikuko and Hiroshi) who had to separate because the girl wanted to study English overseas. In Birmingham where she studied English, Ikuko fell in love with a man (Bernard, who already had two kids) from Zambia. They tried to stay together in Zambia for couple weeks. With the kids, house keeping, climate, and local condition, she decided that that life in Zambia was not for her.

At the end Ikuko and Bernard decided to separate, and Ikuko finally married Horoshi.

The Story about love which involved people from different continent kept continuing within generations.

This book doesn't have dramatic events, that makes it less interesting to read. However it's still good for ESL student to learn about new vocabulary.
