A soul-stirring story about a Japanese bookseller's self-discovery as she recommends total strangers the book that will change their life
THE BOOKSHOP WOMAN IS A LOVE STORY, A LOVE STORY ABOUT BOOKS...
'An irresistible treat for all bibliophiles' WATERSTONES
Nanako Hanada's life has hit rock bottom. Separated from her husband, she's living between 4-hour capsule hostels and pokey internet cafes in Tokyo. Work is going no better as sales at her eccentric bookstore dwindle. Reading is the only thing keeping her alive.
That's until Nanako downloads an app called Perfect Strangers which offers 30 minutes with someone you'll never see again. Introducing herself as a sexy bookseller, she recommends strangers 'the book that will change their life'. In the ensuing year, Nanako meets hundreds of people, some of whom want more than just a book...
THE BOOKSHOP WOMAN offers a glimpse into the quirky side of Tokyo in this story about the beauty of free diving into a book and resurfacing on the last page, ready to breathe a different kind of air...

AND BOOKSELLERS LOVE IT TOO:
