[Pre-order] With Love from the Morisaki Bookshop [Expected 07/11/2024]

A beautiful, collectable hardback that brings together Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop in one volume.

A young woman, lost and heartbroken. Her eccentric, optimist uncle. His wife, with a mysterious secret. Here, in this ramshackle bookshop in the Jimbocho area of Tokyo, these three people will heal their hearts, find connection and overcome loneliness.

Hidden away, the Morisaki Bookshop is a booklover's paradise. On a quiet corner in an old wooden building, the shop is filled with hundreds of second-hand books. Here is where Takako comes to nurse a broken heart, finding within its crowded shelves books to soothe and uplift her flagging spirits. Over the course of two novels, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, Takako and her uncle Satoru discover their similarities and differences, and learn all about life, love and the healing power of books.
