Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This grocery store can help you find back what modern people have lost in their hearts——
There is a grocery store on a quiet street. All you have to do is write down your troubles and drop them into the letter slot on the roller shutter door. You will get an answer in the milk box behind the store the next day.
Because her boyfriend is terminally ill, the young girl Shizuko is torn between love and dreams; Kuro leaves home to pursue his musical dream, but finds it difficult to move forward in reality; the young boy Kosuke faces a huge change in his family, struggling with the confusion between family affection and the future...
They wrote their confusion into letters and dropped them into grocery stores, and then wonderful things happened one after another.
How will an accidental encounter in life lead to a completely different life?
Looking back on the writing process now, I find myself constantly thinking about one question: What should people do when they are at the crossroads of life? I hope that readers will mutter to themselves when they close the book: I have never read a novel like this. - Keigo Higashino
