I chose "Staying Together" as one of my favorite book in book club, because the image of cover and the title first caught my attention, I thought that might be a romance story, that's why I chose it. "Staying Together" was a real love story. The main characters were Ikuko, Hiroshi and Bernard. Ikuko promised Hiroshi to get married after she finished the short course in Birmingham. In Birmingham, Ikuko met a new friend Bernard, who came from Zambia in a photography club. Bernard and Ikuko became a good friends, Ikuko learned so many news things that she had never seen and heard from Bernard. Ikuko enjoyed the time to stay with Bernard and realized she had already fallen in love with him, so she decided to tell his boy friend,Hiroshi, all what happened with them, Hiroshi was very sad and angry to hear that, because Ikuko loved another one and didn't want to get marry with him. Ikuko and Bernard began a couple and shared every wonderful moments together, but later Bernard heard a news that his wife left two daughters and ran away, his father and mother were very old and not able to took care of them, so he decided to back to Zambia and take care his daughters. After Bernard left, Ikuko missed him very much and lead to both psychological and emotional problems, so she decided to went Zambia to met Bernard. Ikuko tried to adapt the life in Zambia, because she wanted to stay with Bernard, but even though she tried very hard to get used the life in there, but lastly she realized that she didn't belong there and decided back to japan. After a long long time, the other romance story happened in Taka and Joyce, they met in Egypt.Taka saved Joyce's life in an accident, and they fell in love with each others and promise they will meet again after they back to their own country, because Taka promise his grandmother to back to Japan and visited her, and Joyce wanted to back to Zambia, because his grandfather had passed away and left her the key of house, so she decided to got back to Zambia again. After they back to their country, they had a great discover from Taka's grandmother and some memorize pictures from Joyce's grandfather. Taka and Ikuko were the grandson and granddaughter of the ex- love couple of Ikuko and Bernard!!!
I like "Staying Together", because the words was simple and easy to understanding, and it also has a very surprise ending that really attract me couldn't stop to read until the ending. I'd like to recommand it to everyone, because this is a powerful and romance original fiction about love, and best from the beginner started to read a English books. I hope everybody like my introduction for this book and had a lots of fun on it, enjoy!!!
