A slow, quiet, pleasant story with the feel of an evening walk along the seashore. It’s a collection of stories that, in the beginning, are seemingly separate from each other, but you eventually find out that the characters are all interconnected: they all play a role in each other’s plot lines, and it all, of course, revolves around a small convenience store. May not seem as exciting when you just pick it up but grips your attention as you go on and on. If you know for a fact that you’re into these kind of books, then it will not disappoint
