#WhatWereReading : Joe enjoyed the Japanese bestseller, Dinner at the Night Library by Hika Harada, translated by Philip Gabriel.

Otaha starts working in the library, which archives the literary collection of deceased authors, and where the live-in chef prepares meals based on those in novels.

Ideal for those who enjoyed Before the Coffee Gets Cold, or Days at the Morasaki Bookshop. Out now from Scriber Books

"But maybe the fact that it's not forever is exactly what makes it all the more beautiful..."
