Book
The Nakano thrift shop / Hiromi Kawakami, translated from the Japanese by Allison Markin Powell.
Objects for sale at the Nakano Thrift Shop appears as commonplace as the staff and customers that handle them. But like those same customers and staff, they hold many secrets. If observed more closely, they show the signs of innumerable extravagancies, of immearsurable pleasure and pain, of the deep mysteries of the human heart. Hitomi, the inexperienced young woman who works the register at Mr. Nakano's thrift shop, has falled for her coworker, the oddly reserved Takeo. Unsure of how to win his affections, she seeks advice from her employer's sister, Masayo, whose sentimental entanglements make her a rather unconventional mentor. But thanks to Masayo, Hitomi will come to understand that love and intimacy require acceptance not only of idiosyncrasies but also of the delicate waltz between open and hidden secrets.
