It was somehow hard to read, one page took me ages and I’m just not in the mood/headspace for that right now. I’ll probably return to it at some other time later on

This book made me explore more books by Japanese authors, the simplicity with which its written is great. The girl who is devastated by her relationship, and her boring life finds a new place to live at her uncle's library which she not willingly went as she left her job. Initially she hates the place, but when she starts to explore the books, her uncle's life she really connects with them, and after that book becomes interesting to read. The writer is successful in establishing a nice chemistry between all the characters. Its definitely a one time read.

Badly written, or rather clunky translation
