LA LIBRERA DE TOKIO ES UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR, UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR POR LOS LIBROS.La vida de Nanako Hanada no solo se ha estancado, sino que ha tocado fondo... Recientemente separada de su marido, vive entre albergues capsula y cibercafes de mala muerte. Su trabajo va igual de mal: las ventas en la excentrica libreria Village Vanguard de Tokio, que Nanako regenta, son cada vez menores. Desenamorada en todos los aspectos, Nanako se da cuenta de lo estrecha que se ha vuelto su vida, sin mas amigos que sus colegas, y sin mas aficiones que leer y ordenar libros. Mientras la vida de Nanako se desmorona, la lectura es lo unico que la mantiene con vida. Es entonces cuando Nanako, en un intento de traer algo de emocion a su vida, se une a un sitio de encuentros en linea que le ofrece 30 minutos con alguien a quien nunca volvera a ver. En su perfil se describe como una librera sexy que ofrece a desconocidos el libro que cambiara sus vidas. Durante el año que sigue, Nanako conocera a un eclectico abanico de desconocidos, algunos de los cuales querran algo mas que un libro, y otros se convertiran en verdaderos amigos.Escrito con un sutil pero agudo sentido del humor, La librera de Tokio es un libro conmovedor sobre el autodescubrimiento y una oda al placer de la lectura. Ademas de ofrecernos una vision del mundo del libro en Japon y del lado peculiar de Tokio y sus gentes, esta es una historia de como los libros pueden ayudarnos a forjar la conexion con los demas y a encontrarnos a nosotros mismos.Es una historia sobre la belleza de meterse en un libro, sumergirse libremente en su interior y volver a la superficie en la ultima pagina, listo para respirar un aire diferente... Un regalo irresistible para todos los bibliofilos.Waterstones
