What to expect
'I love Japanese literature, and this is one of the best' - 5***** Reader review
'A love letter to book lovers and readers everywhere' - 5***** Reader review
The Japanese bestseller: a tale of love, new beginnings, and the comfort that can be found between the pages of a good book.
When twenty-five-year-old Takako's boyfriend reveals he's marrying someone else, she reluctantly accepts her eccentric uncle Satoru's offer to live rent-free in the tiny room above his shop.
Hidden in Jimbocho, Tokyo, the Morisaki Bookshop is a booklover's paradise. On a quiet corner in an old wooden building, the shop is filled with hundreds of second-hand books. It is Satoru's pride and joy, and he has devoted his life to the bookshop since his wife left him five years earlier.
Hoping to nurse her broken heart in peace, Takako is surprised to encounter new worlds within the stacks of books lining the shop.
And as summer fades to autumn, Satoru and Takako discover they have more in common than they first thought. The Morisaki bookshop has something to teach them both about life, love, and the healing power of books.
Quirky, beautifully written, and movingly profound, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop will appeal to readers of Before The Coffee Gets Cold, The Cat Who Saved Books, and anyone who has had to recover from a broken heart.
The charming sequel, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, is out now. Look out for the brand new novel Days at the Torunka Café coming soon!

What a nice, interesting story. Nothing exciting or unusual happens, it's just nice easy listening.
The narrator is excellent, beautifully clear and easy to understand.Rocketman 2024-03-07
