What a gem of a book!
"What You Are Looking For Is in the Library" by Michiko Aoyama is about five people who are at a kind of crossroads in their lives. There's 21-year-old Tomoka, a retail assistant, who's not happy with her job at a general merchandise store. She would like to find something better but realises that she lacks the skills to do so. Then there's 35-year-old Ryo, who is an accountant at a furniture manufacturer and doesn't have the courage to pursue his dream of becoming an antiquarian. 40-year-old former magazine editor Natsumi can't seem to get over her demotion at work after maternity leave. 30-year-old Hiroya's life is in a kind of limbo too. He hasn't been able to hold down a job since graduating from design school and spends most of his time at home, utterly depressed that he can't live his dream of becoming an illustrator. And finally there's 65-year-old Masao, who has recently retired and is trying to find out what to do with the rest of his life. By chance all these five people find their way into the library in the Community House, where librarian Sayuri Komachi instinctively knows what each of them is really searching for and thus recommends them books that might help them find it. I'm really surprised at how much I loved this book. I was sucked into the stories right from the beginning and finished the book in one sitting. I liked all the characters, could relate to all of their problems and really enjoyed accompanying them on their journey to themselves. I think that the main message of the book is that if you listen to your heart and start taking the first steps towards your dreams, the right people and opportunities to fulfill them will find you in the end. I highly recommend reading this little gem of a book!!! ๐คฉ
