The Marble Cafe in Tokyo is a small cafe where this charming book starts, owned by the Maestro. Each chapter hops to a different character who tells us about their life. They are all connected to each other as family, friends or by chance encounter. They all have some influence on each other's lives, sometimes without even knowing it. For many of them, the Cafe and the Maestro play some important role.
I really loved this heartwarming book of intertwined stories.
@MarianHellema Thanks for the recommendation! I've saved it on Everand. Did you read Before the Coffee Gets Cold, another interesting book by a Japanese writer that takes place in a café?
