What You Are Looking for is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama

THE TWO-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING JAPANESE NOVEL

An inspirational tale of the love, comfort and growth you can find in the pages of a good book. 

What are you looking for?  So asks Tokyo's most enigmatic librarian, Sayuri Komachi. But she is no ordinary librarian.

Sensing exactly what someone is searching for in life, she provides just the book recommendation to help them find it.

We meet five visitors to the library, each at a different crossroads:

• The restless retail assistant eager to pick up new skills
• The mother faced with a demotion at work after maternity leave
• The conscientious accountant who yearns to open an antique store
• The gifted young manga artist in search of motivation
• The recently retired salaryman on a quest for newfound purpose

Can she help them find what they are looking for?

Which book will you recommend?
