The Eighth Day by Mitsuyo Kakuta
3.0
3.5/5
It a story about woman who wanted to be a mother and the child who brought up by a person who kidnapped her and her real mother.
Kiwako had an affair and pregnant with a married man’s baby, the man promised to divorce his wife but he never did. After convince Kiwako to had abortion, she found out his wife was pregnant and they are going to have a baby soon. Kiwako was hurt and she kidnapped the baby after she was born and named her Kaoru. They were on a run, Kaoru grew up with her until she was four. Life for Kaoru was not easy after she returned to her parent’s home. The story continue on Kaouru life after she grew up.
The book has a really deep meaning about women, parenting and being a mother. In some society it seems so hard to be single mother (for example when Kiwako wanted to rent apartment they asked her prove of her marriage and the husband work).
I really enjoyed the book and the unique story.
