Modern Fiction Book of the Month – July 2024

”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, from a hopeful young manga artist to a mother facing demotion at work – they all go to the library to find that special book only she can find for them. // Discuss in the Fiction reading group //
