This international bestseller is the true story of a devoted book lover who finds connection in the vast sea of Tokyo by recommending to strangers the book that will change their lives.
“ I'm the manager of a very unusual bookshop. I have over ten thousand books in my vast memory bank, and I'll recommend the perfect one for you.”
Nanako Hanada is a passionate book lover who manages the Village Vanguard, an iconically eccentric bookstore in Tokyo. But her story takes a turn with the breakdown of her marriage. Spending her nights alone in Tokyo's four-hour capsules, she’s finding herself rather isolated. That's until Nanako finds the meet-up site Perfect Strangers.
Perfect Strangers isn’t a dating site—it’s where people meet for thirty-minute bursts to find friendship or romance, build a network, or just share ideas. She sets up her profile promising to recommend people “the book that will change their life.” In the ensuing year, Nanako meets hundreds of people, a ragtag range of strangers who happen to believe in the power of a great book. Soon she discovers that she can connect with just about anyone, and bustling Tokyo begins to feel like a welcoming—if a bit quirky—small town.
Written with comforting humor and populated by a delightful cast of Tokyo-ites, The Bookshop Woman is a soul-stirring book about a bookseller's self-discovery. Here she shares what every bookseller knows: Books can be joyful paths toward meaningful connections.

what a fun concept

Humans are inherently social creatures and I think this book illustrates the benefits of meeting different people and thus the exploration of new experiences very well as it can help us reflect on our own life.
And while I would personally not have the balls to meet up with strangers I found online she´s had mostly good experiences (we don´t talk about the others here...).
Also, the way the characters talk about books really makes the author´s own love for books shine through.
The book also includes a list of all recommendations which is such a thoughtful add on to an already wonderful story, it also feels very in character considering the plot of the book.

Hanada hat das Glück einer Buchhändlerin auf den Punkt gebracht!

Frisch getrennt weiss Hanada nicht, was sie mit sich anfangen soll, schließlich hat sie keine wirklichen Bekanntschaften. Eine App soll da weiterhelfen: Thirty Minutes. Eine App, die fremde Menschen für dreißig Minuten zusammen bringt. Als Buchhändlerin ist für Hanada ganz klar, dass sie jedem ihrer Begegnungen das perfekte Buch empfehlen möchte. Doch für solch eine Empfehlung braucht man ein bisschen mehr, als nur gute Literaturkenntnisse...
Hanadas Geschichte ist inspirierend und bringt gleichzeitig so gut auf den Punkt, was es bedeutet, eine leidenschaftliche Buchhändlerin zu sein. Ihre skurrilen Treffen bringen einen zum Schmunzeln, die tiefgründigen Dialoge zum Nachdenken und ihre Entwicklung Inspiration zum Nachmachen.
Ein neues Herzensbuch!
