In this charming and emotionally resonant sequel to the internationally best selling “Days at the Morisaki Bookshop”, Satoshi Yawa paints charming portrait of life, family and how much books and bookshops mean to the people who love them.
Set in the beloved Japanese Bookshop in the Jimbocho neighbourhood of Tokyo, ‘More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop’ deepens the relationship between Takako, her uncle Satoru and the people in their lives. A new cast of regulars have appeared in the shop, including an old man who wears the same ragged mouse-coloured sweater and another who collects books solely for the official stamps with the authors personal seal.
As time passes, Satoru, with Takako’s help, must choose whether to keep the Bookshop open or shutter its doors forever.
Making the decision will take uncle and niece on an emotional journey back to their family’s roots and remind them again what a bookshop can mean to an individual, a neighbourhood and a whole culture.
