“It’s only in secondhand books that you can savour encounters like this, connections that transcend time. And that’s how I learned to love the secondhand bookstore that handled these books, our Morisaki Bookshop. I realized how precious a chance I’d been given, to be a part of that little place, where you can feel the quiet flow of time.”

- Satoshi Yagisawa

This book made me smile so many times. I am an avid reader and I love supporting our local indie new and used bookstore. Wandering the aisles and perusing the shelves for treasures brings me great joy. This book made me feel like I was transported right into the Morisaki Bookshop. 

I loved how Takako’s view of her uncle changed as she got to know him better, and I really enjoyed how Takako and her aunt bonded over cooking and eating. 

I will definitely be reading the second book.

Calm, quiet book to relax with in a cosy corner. Getting to know Takako and her Uncle and the Jimhocho area of Tokyo was delightful. My batteries are recharged, i enjoyed the re-connections practical healing and care between the characters.
