             The story of silk by Alessandro Baricco was very different to the other story. It seems like a chocolate in which it is bitter in a first bite but if you continued eating it that is the time that you can feel the sweetness of the chocolate. It mean that this story was really amazing and can made you confused.

              Herve Joncour  is the main character, and a French Adventurer. He is a businessman who searched silk for his business, where in it brings smuggle to the silkworm eggs outside from japan because it is considered as a crime at that time. Through his adventured in Japan he meet a girl who become his mistress and make him force to go back.

 

               The author of the story is her wife in which it made me amaze. I learned that we girls as a wife of the boys we need to be strong for what we loved an for whom we loved because in return it make our faith strong.
