Set in Kyoto, The Full Moon Coffee Shop is an inspirational novel filled with music, stars, cats, and cakes, for lovers of all things Japanese and uplifting stories with a powerful healing message.
Based on the Japanese myth of cats returning favours to humans who are kind to them, "The Full Moon Coffee Shop" is the name of a peculiar cake cafe that is run by talking cats, which has no fixed location and instead materialises unpredictably on the night of a full moon. The protagonists of this story – a successful female scriptwriter in crisis, a heartbroken tv director, and two male entrepreneurs – all end up there in the middle of the night, in a semi-dream-like state, and receive life-changing advice on love, work, and relationships from a charismatic tortoiseshell cat who interprets his guests' astrological chart.
The Western horoscope comes into play, as well as the life phases, one for each planet, that guide what lessons we have or haven't allowed ourselves to learn. Meanwhile, the customers are served a selection of drinks and sweet treats tailored perfectly to their needs: a Lunar Chocolate Fondant for Aching Hearts, a Planetary Ice Affogato, an Ice Coffee with Sunrise Syrup, or a Bitter Coffee for Mature Souls.
Dimensions: 15.3 x 2.1 x 23.3 cm
