The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki (translated by Jesse Kirkwood), 228 pages
"The Full Moon Coffee Shop has no fixed location.
It might appear in the middle of a familiar shopping arcade, by the station at the end of the railway line, or on a quiet riverbank.
At the Full Moon Coffee Shop, we don't take your order; instead we bring you desserts, meals, and drinks--selected just for you.
Who knows--maybe it's all a dream." (from the prologue)
This book thoroughly bewitched me. A riot of spiritual color, the story was a web of life and emotion seen through a magical, dreamy lens. The theme of interconnectedness resonated deeply with them. The end result made me feel simultaneously lost and found.
