Invisible to the ordinary world is a mysterious bookshop that only appears to those who need it the most. A sweet, magical story about books, memories, loss, and the people and places that help us find our way forward.

What You’ll Revel In & Why We Chose It

  • A wonderfully gentle story about needing a little space to sit with what we’ve lost before we’re ready to begin again

  • A story about finding comfort, connection and the magic that lies in your emotions, good or bad. 

  • Magical, mysterious, with a time-travel twist

  • Features a sweet, heartfelt cafe owner and a wise little cat

  • A story about familial love and the lengths we go to honour our dearly beloved

Publisher Synopsis:

As the last petal falls, the final page is turned…

Welcome to The Cherry Blossom Bookshop, a haven for book lovers that only appears during the fleeting cherry blossom season. Nestled amidst the bloom of delicate petals, you’ll find a sanctuary for those burdened by regrets and past sorrows. Here, Sakura, the mysterious young owner, and her wise calico cat, Kobako, patiently await the arrival of souls in need of solace and healing.

Told over four seasons, each visitor to the bookshop holds a book that bridges their past and present, guiding them towards understanding and acceptance. Within the antique charm of the shop and the soothing aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Sakura and Kobako help their guests confront their lingering sadness through the power of stories, enabling them to move forward with renewed hope.
