Postcards from Japan: A Novel

"Could a message from the past rewrite the story of your life?" From the author of the international bestseller Ikigai comes a tender and thought-provoking novel of love, mystery and cultural discovery. When mysterious postcards from Japan arrive out of the blue, Samuel-a university lecturer who is profoundly disillusioned with life-doesn't know what to think. At around the same time, Samuel's girlfriend splits up with him, and he is heartbroken. Samuel's good friend Meritxell suggests he takes a holiday to Japan-he can recover from his heartbreak and maybe discover who sent the postcards and why. When he arrives in Japan, he is so taken with the food, the scenery, the people, the temples, that he almost forgets to look for the sender of the postcards. But when he meets the beautiful Mizuki, he finds himself on a journey of self-discovery he would never have imagined? Written with Francesc Miralles's signature insight and wit, Postcards from Japan is a charming and uplifting story about second chances, cultural connection and the beauty of imperfection. Ideal for fans of healing fiction/cozy fiction such as Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop.
