The book walks us through a slice-of-life story from the perspective of a girl in her early 20s whose life turns upside down. She is forced to live with her uncle in his 40s with a bad backache and the owner of Morisaki Bookshop.

Morisaki Bookshop is located in Jimbocho, Tokyo. A fictional old wooden building in a real-life neighbourhood with hundreds of second-hand bookshops. A booklovers paradise.

It's a quiet corner old wooden building that sells second-hand books.

That's how the author 'Satoshi Yagasawa' described the building in his book. But it is not just about these two characters and the bookshop but also the other characters living in this neighbourhood, a cafe life, a yearly book festival, a mountain trip and hiking, Love stories, and Breakup stories.

It also evokes a nostalgic moment for every book lover finding his/her first book and falling in love with reading. This book is full of life, and you start to feel warm and cosy while you go through all sorts of emotions.

To put it in a line. The feeling you have when sitting in a cosy cafe during a cold midnight winter and sipping freshly brewed coffee while enjoying your own company as you read your favourite book. That's how this book makes you feel.
