Bookshop Woman

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

THE BOOKSHOP WOMAN IS A LOVE STORY, A LOVE STORY ABOUT BOOKS...

'Beautiful, very honest, and very good. I can't recommend it highly enough. Please give this book a read. If you like books you will love this one.' James, WATERSTONES CANTERBURY

'An irresistible treat for all bibliophiles' WATERSTONES

Nanako Hanada's life has hit rock bottom. Separated from her husband, she's living between 4-hour capsule hostels and pokey internet cafes in Tokyo. Work is going no better as sales at her eccentric bookstore dwindle. Reading is the only thing keeping her alive.

That's until Nanako downloads an app called Perfect Strangers which offers 30 minutes with someone you'll never see again. Introducing herself as a sexy bookseller, she recommends strangers 'the book that will change their life'. In the ensuing year, Nanako meets hundreds of people, some of whom want more than just a book...

THE BOOKSHOP WOMAN offers a glimpse into the quirky side of Tokyo in this story about the beauty of free diving into a book and resurfacing on the last page, ready to breathe a different kind of air...
