HACHETTE BOOK GROUP UK|More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop|9781786584328

✅ In Tokyo, there is a neighbourhood with the highest number of bookstores in the world. ✅ It is called Jinbocho where book lovers can browse to their heart's delight and where hunters of first editions or autographed copies prowl the bookcases. ✅ The Morisaki bookshop, a small family-run shop, is so packed with books that barely five people can fit inside. ✅ Books crowd the shelves and invade every corner of the floor; when a customer arrives, the owner, Satoru, immediately pops out from behind the counter. ✅ Recently, his wife Momoko has joined him, and often, in her free time after work, their niece Takako also helps out. ✅ For the first time, the girl does not feel lonely; she has new friends and new rituals to keep her company ✅ the annual Jinbocho festival, the cafe around the corner, or an unexpected visitor. ✅ Because, as she has discovered, a bookstore is populated not by the characters contained in the books, but also by those who frequent it. And those stories create bonds. ✅ As a sign of gratitude, Takako gives her aunt and uncle a trip, promising to look after the shop while they are away. ✅ Everything seems to be going swimmingly, but then why is Satoru behaving so strangely? ✅ And what does that woman with the red umbrella want who has appeared at the end of the street? ✅ How many other stories, emotions, and treasures does the Morisaki bookshop hold?
