A cafe that shows up only when someone badly needs it opens for business again in Mai Mochizuki's Full Moon Coffee Shop series.
Best Wishes from the Full Moon Coffee Shop follows several people standing at a turning point in work, family or love, each of whom finds a way to the same strange establishment. Jordan Taylor's translation carries the light touch of the original, mixing magical realism with plain encouragement. Chapters move between characters, and the tone stays warm rather than tense, which makes the book easy to pick up in short sittings.
What readers get:
• A continuation of the Full Moon Coffee Shop series
• Several interlinked characters facing personal crossroads
• Magical realism handled with a light, comforting touch
• English translation by Jordan Taylor
A sound choice for fans of Japanese healing fiction and for gift buyers, available at Boipoka.
