Hot Chocolate on Thursday
Hot Chocolate on Thursday
Michiko Aoyama
From Michiko Aoyama, the multi-million-copy author of What You Are Looking For Is in the Library, comes a warm, gently uplifting novel for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
Across a bridge in a quiet Tokyo neighbourhood, beside a seasonal cherry blossom on the river, sits the Marble Café. Here a woman writes in her notebook while a young waiter prepares her favourite hot chocolate — each quietly wondering about the other, and about the lives of the regulars who drift through this charming little café behind the trees.
Taking a walk along the river, cooking the perfect tamagoyaki, ordering a hot chocolate, forgetting to remove your nail polish — the small, everyday acts of our lives can lead to unexpected encounters and ripple far beyond us. A tapestry of slice-of-life moments that opens and closes with that same warm cup of cocoa, this is a tender reminder of how invisibly, and how beautifully, our lives are connected.
Heart-warming and quietly restorative.
