Review
More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop is a deeper, more emotionally resonant continuation of the first novel, focusing intensely on the family of three—Takako, her uncle Satoru, and her aunt Momoko. Their bond is far from perfect, shaped by years of misunderstandings, unspoken words, and the lingering pain of past decisions.
Takako's return to the bookshop is not just a physical journey but an emotional one as well. She is confronted with the remnants of a family that once was, now pieced together with fragile threads of shared history and the quiet, sometimes uncomfortable, love that binds them. Satoru, though seemingly carefree, carries the weight of being the unifying force in a family that has known its share of silent struggles. His gentle guidance and subtle wisdom are what keep Takako anchored as she navigates through the complexities of her feelings toward Momoko, who, despite her own set of vulnerabilities and regrets, plays a crucial role in the healing process.
The book doesn’t shy away from the hardships this small family has endured—Satoru’s silent sacrifices, Takako’s suppressed grief, and Momoko’s struggles with her own past and the choices she made.
