"A tale of families, love, new beginnings, and the comfort that can be found in books."

The first line of the synopsis for Days At The Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa does kind of sum up the story of Takako, who finds herself unexpectedly living in the room above her Uncle Satoru's secondhand bookshop in Tokyo. This novel is in two parts and deals with lost of relationships and how one young woman navigates the challenges of these so that she and her Uncle can move onwards in life. 

I would highlight that issues around loss and grief are part of the story and how this effects the relationships with those we love the most. It is written in a very poignant way and had a profound impact on me.

I own a copy of this book and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt 28, a yellow spine, for the 52 Book Club Reading Challenge 2024.
