The Nakano Thrift Shop

Well there isn't a plot, so that was a problem for me.

This is a book without a “real” plot. Nothing much happens throughout the book. It is the description of the characters that drives the story forward. I adore Kawakami's writing style and was entertained from start to finish.

I'm not sure why the author gets compared to Murakami. Still, this book was a lightweight slice-of-life.
