The emotional and refreshing new novel from the internationally bestselling author of "Days at the Morisaki Bookstore," translated from Japanese by Eric Ozawa.

In Tokyo, there is a neighborhood with the largest number of bookstores in the world, known as Jinbocho. Book lovers can wander at will, while first edition or signed copy hunters explore the shelves. Morisaki Bookstore, a small family-run store, is so packed with books that only five people can fit inside. Books fill the shelves and occupy every corner of the floor. When a customer comes in, the owner, Satoru, immediately emerges from behind the counter.

Recently, his wife, Momoko, has been accompanying him, and often, in her spare time after work, their niece, Takako, helps them. For the first time, the girl doesn't feel lonely; she has new friends and new routines to keep her company: the annual Jinbocho festival, the café on the corner, or an unexpected visit. She has discovered that a bookstore is not only inhabited by the characters contained in the books, but also by those who visit it. And these stories create bonds.

As a token of gratitude, Takako offers them a trip, promising to take care of the store while they are away. Everything seems to be going well, but why is Satoru behaving so strangely? And what does the woman with the red umbrella want, who has appeared at the end of the street? How many other stories, emotions, and treasures does Morisaki Bookstore hide?

Loved by thousands of readers around the world, "More Days at Morisaki Bookstore" is a story of hope, friendship, and the healing power of books. Will we see you at the bookstore this summer?
