'Really, it's a very ordinary looking suitcase. You could fit quite a lot in it. Books, games, treasures, toys. But nothing is inside it now. Across the front, there is a girl's name, Hana Brady. A date of birth: May 16, 1931. And Waisenkind. That's the German word for orphan.' Where did Hana Brady come from Where was she going What did she pack What Fumiko finds in Hana's suitcase is a true story of terrible sadness and great joy.
