So Far From the Bamboo Grove

Now I've finished this book and the ending of the book is very dramatic. Hideyo and Yoko + Ko finally met together in the train station but in the end
they said that father died before meeting Yoko and Ko. Yoko and Ko was having a hard life but a fun life in the station by going to school , meeting new people that can help them and also, celebrating the NEW YEAR PARTY. But before Ko came from school, mother died from shock and tireness that she had during the trip to the grandmother's house.
I liked this book a lot because it was looking from Japan's perspective not in Korean. We always looked in Korean perspective because we were Korean and we thought that we were the only one that had bad situations but it wasnt like that. Japan had a lot of hardships in foreign countries and I know that now.
