A Gentle Tale

Days At The Torunka Café by Satoshi Yagisawa (translated by Eric Ozawa) is a beautiful contemporary tale that will warm your heart.

The heart of the novel is a small backstreet coffee shop in Tokyo. It is tucked away, found only by those who go looking.

Within the story, there are three sub-stories – all taking place in the coffee shop with a revolving door of characters who meet just when the time is right.

The tone of the tale is gentle and kind- just like the characters that we meet.

Everyone is on a journey of discovery, taking time to be themselves as they interact with each other.
