Days at the Torunka Cafe

Detailní popis produktu

'It gently healed my soul''Simply beautiful''A perfect warm blanket to warm every book lover's heart''A gem of a novel that will resonate with anyone who has ever found solace in the pages of a book'______________From the author of the Morisaki Bookshop novels comes a charming and poignant story set at a quiet Tokyo cafe where customers find unexpected connection and experience everyday miracles.Tucked away on a narrow side street in Tokyo is the Torunka Cafe, a neighbourhood nook where the passersby are as likely to be local cats as tourists. Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura, a mysterious young woman who always leaves behind a napkin folded into the shape of a ballerina; Hiroyuki Yumata, a middle-aged man who's returned to the neighbourhood searching for the happy life he once gave up; and Shizuku, the cafe owner's teenage daughter, who is still coming to terms with her sister's death as she falls in love for the first time.While Cafe Torunka serves up a perfect cup of coffee, it provides these sundry souls with nourishment far more lasting. Satoshi Yagisawa brilliantly illuminates the periods in our lives where we feel lost - and how we find our way again.
