25. Book 1 – Whole Class
Ikuko goes to England to
study, promising to return
to Japan to get married.
But in Birmingham, Ikuko
not only discovers
another way of life but
also a great deal about
herself.
This is a powerful story
about a love that is
carried across three
continents and even time
itself.

26. Ikuko wondered if she was making a
terrible mistake. “It’s only for six months,” she
said to Hiroshi, trying to persuade herself as
much as him.
“A lot can happen in six months,” he
said. “I don’t want to lose you. Remember you
promised to come back.”
Ikuko looked at her ring. “I’ll come
back,” she said.
They said goodbye, but as she went
through to the departure lounge she looked
back one last time. Hiroshi was standing there,
his hair falling into his eyes, looking lost and
lonely in the middle of the airport crowds.

It takes us away from home,
but more important,
it finds homes for us everywhere.”
