Description

In this charming and emotionally resonant follow up to the internationally bestselling Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, Satoshi Yagisawa paints a poignant and thoughtful portrait of life, love, and how much books and bookstores mean to the people who love them.

Set again in the beloved Japanese bookshop and nearby coffee shop in the Jimbochi neighborhood of Toyko, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop deepens the relationship between Takako, her uncle Satoru , and the people in their lives. A new cast of heartwarming regulars have appeared in the shop, including an old man who wears the same ragged mouse-colored sweater and another who collects books solely for the official stamps with the author’s personal seal.

Satoshi Yagisawa illuminates the everyday relationships between people that are forged and grown through a shared love of books. Characters leave and return, fall in and out of love, and some eventually die. As time passes, Satoru, with Takako’s help, must choose whether to keep the bookshop open or shutter its doors forever. Making the decision will take uncle and niece on an emotional journey back to their family’s roots and remind them again what a bookstore can mean to an individual, a neighborhood, and a whole culture.

Booklist Review

Yagisawa's sequel to his popular Days at the Morisaki Bookshop (2023), also translated by Ozawa, reunites readers with Takako, her Uncle Satoru, Aunt Momoku, and the people who come into their lives at the Morisaki Bookshop. It's now three years later, and Takako is happy at work and in a new relationship. She is still a frequent visitor to her aunt and uncle's bookshop. The store is the thread that ties them together and connects them to others in the Tokyo neighborhood of Jimbocho, but a tragedy makes the Morisaki's future seem uncertain. Yagisawa maintains the charm and comfort of the first bookshop tale while deepening Takako's understanding of the people who frequent the bookshop and nearby business owners and their various customers. If the first book is a coming-of-age story, the sequel is a story about community. Readers will pick this up for the atmosphere of this well-established world. They will turn the last page with a deepened love for this bookshop family and how well they care for each other and their customers and neighbors.
