About this product
What You Are Looking for Is in the Library is a warm Japanese novel by Michiko Aoyama, translated into English by Alison Watts. At a community library in Tokyo, the mysterious librarian Sayuri Komachi asks each visitor what they are looking for, then suggests a book and adds a small handmade felted gift.
Her choices nudge five people towards new directions. It is a gentle, hopeful read for anyone who loves libraries, quiet stories and second chances.
- Five linked stories: a retail worker, a mother returning after maternity leave, an accountant who dreams of an antique shop, a struggling manga artist and a newly retired office worker
- A memorable guide: librarian Sayuri Komachi and her unexpected recommendations
- Themes: kindness, work, purpose and starting over
- In translation: English text by Alison Watts
