Postcards from Japan: A Novel (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9784805319970)

From the co-author of the international bestsellers Ikigai and The Ikigai Journey comes a tender, thought-provoking novel of love, mystery, and cultural discovery.

"Could a message from the past rewrite the story of your life?"

When mysterious postcards from Japan arrive out of the blue, Samuel--a university lecturer once featured in Francesc Miralles's novel Love in Lowercase--is profoundly disillusioned with life. At the same time, his girlfriend leaves him and he is heartbroken.

Encouraged by his friend Meritxell, Samuel travels to Kyoto, a city whose classical beauty becomes a character of its own. Amid temples, gardens, and unforgettable meals, he nearly forgets to search for the sender of the postcards--until he meets the captivating Mizuki and begins a journey of self-discovery he had never imagined.

Written with Miralles's signature insight and wit, Postcards from Japan is a healing, cozy novel about second chances, cultural connection and the beauty of imperfection. Perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, it will appeal to anyone drawn to Japanese culture and the quiet hope of new beginnings.
