More Days At The Morisaki Bookshop: The cosy sequel to DAYS...

Most Helpful Review

"“More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop” is Satoshi Yagisawa’s sequel to his first book, “Days at the Morisaki Bookshop,” and is a better novel than the first one. The tale follows the fortunes of Takako, her uncle Satoru, and her aunt, Momoko. In this installment, she finds her true love, and we see the beginning of a deeper relationship between her friends, Tomo and Takano.There is loss as well when Momoko dies, and Satoru struggles to come to terms with her death.Like the previous book, this offering explores ordinary events in the lives of everyday people. You won’t find tales of grand warriors, battles, or the struggles between good and evil. These books explore the lives and concerns of ordinary people, delving into their relationships as they evolve.This book is a story about life itself, told in the most straightforward manner possible. While the author set the book in Japan, his home country, you can imagine this story happening in any country or city. In my opinion, the book’s charm lies in the universality of the underlying emotions the characters experience in the story.Read the book: reading is a pleasure, and the author does not pretend to preach."
