The tender and moving best seller that became a movie in Japan. A story about new beginnings, loves, and families, and the warmth that books provide.

When the friend of twenty-five-year-old Takako reveals to her that he is marrying someone else, she feels as though she is losing her world. Reluctantly, she accepts the offer of her eccentric uncle Satoru to live in the tiny room above his used bookstore. The Morisaki Bookstore is a paradise for any book lover, a pride of Satoru, who has devoted his life to it ever since his wife left him.

Hoping to heal her wounded heart, Takako discovers, to her surprise, new worlds in the stacks of books within the bookstore, as well as in the people outside it. And as summer fades and autumn arrives, the universe at the Morisaki Bookstore teaches uncle and niece wonderful things about life, love, and the healing power of books. A perfect soft blanket to warm the heart of every book lover.
