The first part of the main charaters in the book are Ikuko Kanazawa, Hiroshi Masuda and Bernard Chiluba. Then the second part of the main charaters are Taka and Joyce. The setting of the book is happened in Japan, England and Africa. The first part of the story is telling about Ikuko and Hiroshi.

One day she got his letter in Japan, and then she went to Africa to see Bernard. She was trying hard to adapt the lifestyle in Africa, but it is big problem for her. She couldn't live there for her all life. Finnaly, they were broke up, and she went back to Japan. They were so sentimental, and maybe they will not see each other any more. The second part in the book is bout Ikuko's grandson that call Taka and Bernard's granddaughter that call Joyce. This happen again like before Ikuko and Bernard. They also fall in love to each other, and then they get together. In the end of this book, Ikuko and Bernard love each other so much, but they can't get together. Ikuko's grandson and Bernard's daughter are staying together like god arrange the things.

I really enjoy to read this book because for many reasones. First, the book isn't too difficult. The vocabulary in the book are easy so that I don't need to look up the meaning in the ditionarly. Second, the story is very interesting that about love, that is my favorite. I never hate to read a love story book. Finnal, I can learn a lot of word and sentence structure in the book. I would like to introduce this book to someone and I would like to more books about love story.
