Days at the morisaki bookshop is a book written for lovers of books and bookshops. It captures the magic and healing powers books and reading can have, and also speaks about growth and self-discovery. It is easy and quick to read and i loved all the references to Japanese literature. I especially appreciated the translators note which sign posted which of the mentioned books have been translated for further discovery.
The only reason I rate it 5 stars is I didn't particularly care for part two of the book at first, I preferred the focus on the main character more but that may be the my personal taste.
Otherwise I think this is a perfect comfort read and I will treasure it at such. I think I will enjoy it even more in the future once I read the materials referenced in it.
