BR 2-13: From the Heart

said Dad. 'But there are lots of not very nice people out there. Foreigners, most of them.' (p.1)

     At first when I looked this book, I thought this is a only love romance story. So I was interested in it. Roughly it was a love story that way, but it is very thought-provoking.
     In this story, a girl named Anna fell in love to a boy named Selim. But he came from Bosnia so he is an immigrant. His parents were died because of bomb. One day they went to the shops to buy things to eat, there was a bomb in the street. So he is alone. He want to live and work in Anna's country. Anna understand about him but Anna's father don't allow to be Anna's boy friend. Because Anna's father, Derek broke up with his wife because his wife left with a man named Lars. Lars is foreigner, so Anna's dad can't allow foreigner. He thinks foreigner is not good.
     But All of foreigner is not good, Anna thought because Selim is very kind. She thought he is nice man. So she persuade her father.

    Finally I think "Immigrant" is world issue, so we have to think about it more deeply, and we have to know about it.
