En perfekt bokrekommendation kan förändra ditt liv!
Tokyos gåtfulla bibliotekarie Sayuri Komachi har en unik förmåga att känna av exakt vad besökarna behöver och kan rekommendera precis rätt bok för rätt person.
Ett rastlöst butiksbiträde längtar efter nya möjligheter, en mamma försöker hitta sin plats på jobbet efter föräldraledigheten, en plikttrogen man drömmer om att öppna en antikvitetsbutik, och en nybliven pensionär söker en ny mening med livet. I Komachis oväntade boktips hittar de det som hjälper dem att förverkliga sina drömmar och det är inte alltid den bok de trodde att de behövde.
Det du söker finns på biblioteket är en inspirerande berättelse om bibliotekens magi, och hur böcker och nya möten kan förändra liv.
Michiko Aoyama föddes 1970 i Japan. Efter universitetet arbetade hon som reporter för en japansk tidning baserad i Sydney, innan hon återvände till Tokyo för att arbeta som redaktör. Hennes bok Det du söker finns på biblioteket nominerades till Japans Booksellers Award och seglade direkt upp på topplistorna både i hemlandet och internationellt. Boken har översatts till mer än tjugo språk. Michiko Aoyama bor nu i Yokohama i Japan.
