DAYS AT THE MORISAKI BOOKSHOP - SATOSHI YAGISAW...

The wise and charming international bestseller and hit Japanese movie—about a young woman who
loses everything but finds herself—a tale of new beginnings  romantic and family relationships
and the comfort that can be found in books.  Twenty-five-year-old Takako has enjoyed a
relatively easy existence—until the day her boyfriend Hideaki  the man she expected to wed 
casually announces he’s been cheating on her and is marrying the other woman. Suddenly 
Takako’s life is in freefall. She loses her job  her friends  and her acquaintances  and
spirals into a deep depression. In the depths of her despair  she receives a call from her
distant uncle Satoru. An unusual man who has always pursued something of an unconventional life
especially after his wife Momoko left him out of the blue five years earlier  Satoru runs a
second-hand bookshop in Jimbocho  Tokyo’s famous book district. Takako once looked down upon
Satoru’s life. Now  she reluctantly accepts his offer of the tiny room above the bookshop
rent-free in exchange for helping out at the store. The move is temporary  until she can get
back on her feet. But in the months that follow  Takako surprises herself when she develops a
passion for Japanese literature  becomes a regular at a local coffee shop where she makes new
friends  and eventually meets a young editor from a nearby publishing house who’s going through
his own messy breakup. But just as she begins to find joy again  Hideaki reappears  forcing
Takako to rely once again on her uncle  whose own life has begun to unravel. Together  these
seeming opposites work to understand each other and themselves as they continue to share the
wisdom they’ve gained in the bookshop. Translated By Eric Ozawa
