Description
The bookshop only appears in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom and you must be reading the exact passage from the same book at the same time as the young shopkeeper in order to find it. Many people have come and gone from the bookshops doors, these are the stories of very different people, for very different reasons at very different times of their lives who were lucky enough to be given a miracle.
What a lovely idea, that there is this place that exists because someone wrote a book. Each story is a gentle reminder of how ordinary moments may not be simple, that life is to lived. The characters were a little bland, without much personality, but they had very different stories and reasons for being at the bookshop. The same information was repeated almost every time someone new entered the bookshop, explained almost the exact same way as well. It did get a little confusing at times when the cat was interchangeably referred to as it and she, probably to do with translation. There are a few things that have to do with names that also get lost in translation, but they are explained in a note at the end.
