This was a beautiful book, wonderfully translated and had a very warm, quaint feeling about it. As a book love I adored all of the scenes in the bookshop and I loved reading a book set amongst the Japanese culture of reading and bookstores. I found the main character really loveable but would’ve loved to have had more set up about her life before she moves to the bookstore because I wanted to feel her pain a bit more. I also didn’t love the character of Momoko, but maybe that’s the idea. I loved the Uncle and would’ve loved more of the book to be about him. Really liked Takako’s love story but would’ve loved that to be embellished even more and to hear more about how it turned out
