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 café 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? Loved by thousands of readers worldwide, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop is a story of hope, friendship and the healing power of books. Will we see you in the bookshop this summer? PRAISE FOR DAYS AT THE MORISAKI BOOKSHOP : 'Brims with genuine charm . . . evokes powerful feelings that any book lover will recognize' Japan Times 'Ozawa's translation gracefully captures the author's whimsical and tender voice. Yagisawa has the right touch for lifting a reader's mood' Publishers Weekly 'Readers will want to linger in this world' Booklist 'A familiar romance about books and bookstores, told with heart and humor' Kirkus 'A slender book, but one rich in experience, exactly like the tiny, crammed Morisaki bookshop itself' New York Journal of Books Review: Highly recommended - I read the first book, Days at the Morasaki Bookshop, with a great deal of pleasure. The sequel is just as good. The style of writing and translation is quite simple at first glance. However, as one delves deeper into the book, there is a thought provoking side to it. I found myself enjoying the prose for the sake of it at the start, but began to find myself pausing more to think about what I'd read. It gives the appearance that it is a basic story, but it constantly surprises. The main character is Takako, a young woman who appears to have a simple personality, but is actually rather complex. The bookshop, founded by her great grandfather, and currently owned and run by her uncle Satoru, is at the centre of all that is good in Takako's life. There is a lot in this book that I found resonated with my life. I could empathise with Takako in how she dealt with the many issues in her life. The last chapter had me crying because of the memories that it stirred in me. I'd certainly recommend this book, though if you have not read the first, then I would advise you to do so. It would be possible to read this book as a standalone, but your enjoyment would be increased by the background knowledge provided by the first, which is also a book that I recommended. Review: Days Like These - What a delightful sequel this is. Fans of Satoshi Yagisawa’s first book will enjoy this follow-up which delves deeper into the lives of Takako and her eccentric uncle Satoru, owner of the Morisaki Bookshop. This lovable pair deal with budding relationships and the crises of life, such as sickness, and even death, while finding solace and direction in books. As translator Eric Ozawa writes in his note at the end of the novel, “The books lie ahead of us; they seem to know things we do not.” The novel captures the softer cadences of life and there is calmness and acceptance in the the way the characters receive these experiences, which is catching. Reading this simple book gave me a sense of peace and tranquility that balances out the stronger feelings in other heavier books that I have been reading. In particular, a passage on private grief and loss and how the world seems to keep turning unperturbed resonated with me: “One season would give way to the next. The loss of a single person couldn’t change that. It should’ve been obvious, but it now felt like an outrage.” There are several moments like these in Takako’s narrative and there are also moments of candour. This book is not earth-shattering and it makes no pretensions to do so either. But it will linger in your mind after you turn the last page, much like how a fond memory does, the essence of which is conveyed in these lines: “People forget all kinds of things. They live by forgetting. Yet our thoughts endure, the way waves leave traces in the sand.” ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 26,269 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 166 in Cultural Heritage Fiction 2,539 in Literary Fiction (Books) 4,190 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 3,349 Reviews | ## Images ![More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ggj7wNe+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended *by P***S on 20 September 2024* I read the first book, Days at the Morasaki Bookshop, with a great deal of pleasure.
