Aiko - Stephen Swartz - Bog

When the handwritten letter from Japan arrives, Benjamin cannot help but flash back to when he lived in Hawaii and met Hanako, a Japanese stewardess. But Addy, Benjamin's wife of three years, knows what the letter really means: a love child was born. Now Benjamin must save a child he has never met, learn the truth about Hanako's life there, and risk his marriage and his career to do the right thing. But venturing into the lonely woods of northern Ishikawa throws him into an ancient world of strict customs and tight-lipped villagers, where secrets are not easily revealed. AIKO, a love story wrapped around a tragedy, unfolds like a modern version of "Madame Butterfly" told from his side.
