'A gem of a book. Quirky deadpan poignant and quietly profound' Ruth Ozeki The unexpected
international bestseller. Meet Keiko. She's 36 years old has never had a boyfriend and
she's been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years. Keiko's family wishes she'd
get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won't get married. But Keiko knows what makes
her happy and she's not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store... A
cult hit around the world Convenience Store Woman is both a feminist rallying cry and a
must-read oddball comedy. 'Exhilaratingly weird and funny... Unsettling and totally
unpredictable - my copy is now heavily underlined' Sally Rooney 'Darkly comic' Observer
'[A] short deadpan gem... A true original' Daily Mail 'What a weird and wonderful and
deeply satisfying book this is. Sayaka Murata is an utterly unique and revolutionary voice. I
tore through it with great delight' Jami Attenberg
