' It gently healed my soul' ' Simply beautiful' ' A perfect warm blanket to

has ever found solace in the pages of a book' ______________ From the author of the
Morisaki Bookshop novels comes a charming and poignant story set at a quiet Tokyo café where
customers find unexpected connection and experience everyday miracles. Tucked away on a
narrow side street in Tokyo is the Torunka Café a neighbourhood nook where the passersby are
as likely to be local cats as tourists. Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura a mysterious
young woman who always leaves behind a napkin folded into the shape of a ballerina Hiroyuki
Numata a middle-aged man who' s returned to the neighbourhood searching for the happy life
he once gave up and Shizuku the café owner' s teenage daughter who is still coming to
terms with her sister' s death as she falls in love for the first time. While the Torunka
Café serves up a perfect cup of coffee it provides these sundry souls with nourishment far
more lasting. Satoshi Yagisawa brilliantly illuminates the periods in our lives where we feel
lost - and how we find our way again.
