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.

Die Hauptfigur ist eine Junge Frau, die sich im Buchladen ihres Onkels selbst findet. Sehr leichte Kost aber auch nichts außergewöhnliches.

A small stakes glimpse of life. It's been ten years since I was in Tokyo but the author made it feel like I was visiting again, perfectly capturing the character of those little side streets and bustling stations.
